Table of Contents puzzle....

I have a book with two author types: Award Authors and Standard Authors.

For Award Author pages, they begin with the Award Title. Standard Authors' pages don't.

The Award Title and Standard Author styles contain a page break to ensure every entry author's entry begins on a new page.

The table of contents appears like this:
For Award Authors:

Award Title

Author Name > Article Title > Page Number

For Standard Authors:

Author Name > Article Title > Page Number

More specifically, the layout is kinda like this:

In the TOC styles I have a single style, TOC Author, for all authors' names.

I just added the page break to Standard Authors this morning. Before that, the TOC and contents all appeared properly. As soon as I added the Standard Author styling with the break, I lost the space between the title and page number in all instances.

Nothing else changed. Been trying to troubleshoot why this is happening, but haven't made any progress... any ideas?

Confidential/WIP so I can't post files.

thanks
