(1) On the Home ribbon, expand the list of Styles by clicking on the little arrow at the bottom right of the styles pane. Here is the solution (at least in my context). Note that putting it back to just ‘Mode’ and updating the table recreates the error. So the simplest solution is to rephrase the headings to be a little longer. For example, I can change ‘Mode’ to ‘Mode Mode’ and it is ‘fixed’: If the entry is long enough, no problem (see ‘Mode’). So of course I did a web search and found: (hence the title of this post of mine).īut this page does not give an explicit fix, at least, not for the average user. But it does give the hint – note that the entries that are not working are short. The ToC was put in using Word defaults with the headings all styled as H1, H2, H3. Now, I checked that this is not just a display problem, and yes it does print like that too.
Like this: Example of Word table of contents with dot leaders missing and page numbers in wrong place (see Mean and Mode). So I’ve got a Word file with a table of contents (ToC) that, every so often, is missing the dot leader (row of dots) between name and page number. This is the first of two posts other is here.
