Hello

 

I have 3 qustions regarding table of contents (attached image):

 

1. How can I allign the text vertically as indicated on the image and ajust for single and double digit page number (tab space)?

 

2. How do I insert exact width of the space between the number and text but also considering question 1, where the text is vertically aligned?

 

3. How do I position the numbering and text in the middle, centered bellow "CONCTENTS" but the justification of the text syles is left so that the number are all vertically aligned?

1. With a Paragraph Style that defines the tab positions.

2. Make a Paragraph Style that is applied to the Table of Contents in the ToC dialog box so that it can generate it all at once.

3. All this is handled in a Paragraph Style. The very heart of InDesign and the automated things it can do is the Paragraph Style.
