How to Align Page Numbers in the Table of Contents

What am I doing / not doing to cause the page numbers to fall on the second line? I seem to recall something about adding tab settings...? (Another thread I saw suggeated "right indent tab" after the Between Entry and Number, but that didn't change things.) Two screenshots attached for reference.

Do not use a tabulator and a stop for those numbers, use a right aligned tabulator instead. When you write you would write shift-tabulator, in the dialog of the toc setup it is represented with a y instead of the t. ^t > ^y.

I must be doing it wrong. When I put in ^t > ^y I got two lines before the number (see screenshot). I'm not using the tab function at all - trying to set it all up in the TOC style box. 

 

ALSO, two more related issues:

1. TOC comes in indented. I don't want that. 

2. Style used for chapters (which drives the TOC numbering) has an 18 pt. leading, and that is being translated here so I have to manually bring up each line. Not a smart way to do this I'm sure!

Thank you, I've downloaded! I have to jump on another deadline, but will be reviewing this whole TOC formatting at some point today and will probably have more questions for you. 😉


Willi. I very much appreciate your sample, and tried to follow for my simpler TOC. However, yet again, I must be doing something wrong because it looks great but the page numbers aren't updating and the "update Table of Contents" option under Layout is grayed out. Help!
