I suspect that the text frame on the left master page in the TOC file (i.e. the layout template for the even pages) is just slightly narrower than the text frame on the right master page (used for the odd pages). Safe practice places the tab stop for the page numbers slightly inside the edge of the text frame rather than right on it to avoid this kind of problem in case something changes by just a smidgen.

Subject: Re: [Framers] TOC Formatting Problem That happens to me when there isn't enough room for the right-aligned tab to fit within the text frame. When I define the tab a little more to the left, it works OK. I don't know why some of your pages come me out OK and some not, but try reducing the right-aligned tab. -- Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 058-763-7133 On Sun, Mar 10, 2019 at 1:56 AM Brian Webb <kd6...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Good Afternoon: > > I am creating a technical manual and I have a formatting problem with the > table of contents. > > The first and third pages are correctly formatted with the headings on the > left, strings of periods, and the page numbers on the right.
