long lines in ToC

What a resource this forum is … I've finally caught up with myself, and implemented Winfried's elegant solution: results absolutely as required. Now, Winfried – tell me why/how it works!

Thanks for the "non-breaking space" and "Advanced settings" tips – I shall experiment with both of these.

Alas, anything that relies on a plug-in is a non-starter in my work environment :-{

My apologies for not making myself clear. Winfried's technique works perfectly and I use it myself.

I meant that I don't think the Cudspan plugin works with 64-bit FrameMaker.

I'm fairly sure I'm using the 64-bit version and Winfried's technique is working for me. I ended up having to add an extra tab before the <$pagenum> on the TOC reference page though, as described on this post:  https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker/last-line-right-indent-desperatly-missed/td-p/10663228.

Everyone please remember to vote for a last-line right indent which would give us a more elegant solution to this issue.

I don't think it works with 64-bit versions of FM. I have a vague recollection of trying to use it and getting an error.

Hi FieryPantone,

There are a few options.

In the paragraph designer in the Advanced tab enter these values:

Minimum 200 %

Maximum 125 %

Then the line will break some cm before the line end. (You can play with the values to make the distance bigger.)

Or there is a free plugin from CudSpan:

Go to 11.0 plugins. There is a plugin TOCBreaker.

Best regards

Winfried
