Hello,

While finishing a file for print, I noticed that the page number in my TOC are somehow squashed like this "See 41". Does anyone know how to fix this, so all page numbers look the same size?

Hi @Acai06:

 

The issue is that you are using a font with proportional numbers—the 1s are skinnier than the other numbers. What font are you using? You should be able to specify Tabular Lining so that all the figures are the same width.

      Hi Barb,

      I am using Brandon Grotesque regular, and wow, your method seems to have just solved the issue.

      Thank you!

        In the TOC Style setting, click the More Options button. You can apply a character style to the page number and the leader dot there. That will insure consistency.

        Thank you for following up, Creamer. 

         

        Ok, so that means I need to first create a character style by selecing some of the correct looking page numbers?

        Then that should apear as an option for style for page number in TOC Style setting? Let me try...
