How do I make a dotted line in the table of contents 2

[Albertina]

Hi!

I want my table of contents to look like this:

1. Heading.........pg nr

I just cant find out how to make the dotted line. Where do I tell InDesign to make it?

Please HELP!

Thanks a million

Use the tabs palette.

Set a right tab with . as the character (in the tabs palette)

Sorry, I did not get the point and have the same problem as Albertina. Could you tell me step by step how to set up a dotted line for the TOC in Indesign on Windows?

Tks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you using the tabs palette? Have you inserted a tab in your text? Have you defined the character for the leading tab?

ok, sorry I found out what to do. Just for those wanting to know.

1. Select the paragraph style of the TOC
2. Click on tabs
3. Add a right-justify tab
4. Define "." as leader
5. Click OK
6. Click on the Spacer next to the TOC Headline to get to the tab position and you will see InDesign creates automatically the dots.... This last point was the riddle.

I wonder why InDesign doesn't offer Standardized TOC formats as simple as for instance Word...

However, tks Jimoblak for the support!!!! ;-)
