Mini TOC Formatting

Hi,

There are some instances in my document where the heading titles continue onto a second line of text. When this happens, my mini TOC does not format correctly. I'd like for the second line in the mini TOC to format like the first line, with the leader dots and chapter/page numbers on the right of the page. Is there a way to do this?

 

Mini TOC:

Reference Page:

 

 

Thank you in advance.

    Thank you. One final question. Is there a way to get the top line to break after the word Bell instead of the word Crank as seen below?

     

     


    Place an additional nonbreaking space between Crank and Mounting. This will force "Crank Mounting" to be considered as a single word.

    (for other readers, this is not necessary if using Fm 2022, and the last line right indent property)

    The second tab worked, but now I have the following issue. Is there a fix to wrap the chapter/page numbers to the next line with the leader dots when the text goes to the end of the first line?

    The hyphen on the reference page between <chaptnum> and <pagenum> must be 'nonbrakable'. Inset it by ESC, -, h

      Add a second TAB (and propably a third one due to > 2 lines) in front of the <$chapnum> item.

      Make sure to look at the new option to manage last line right margin in Fm 2022. This makes TOC management much easier.
