Page numbers, leading periods in TOC?
Could someone point me to a place that explains how to do page numbers, right aligned (with Titles left aligned) and leading periods between Titles and page numbers, in a TOC? I've checked the Tutorial for Beginners and searched the forum. Thank you.

I will add this to the Tutorial!
1.Arrange your blank page the way you want for your TOC, place a reverse tab in the ruler at the far right. In the Margins & Tab palette select Lead: dot. 2.Set this as your TOC paragraph style.] 3.In the Autotitles, click on the TOC button, make the text say what you want it to say (see image below), and choose TOC from Mellel's Paragraph Menu. 4.Click OK.

Re: Page numbers, leading periods in TOC?
this is one of the trickiest parts – because if you set the reverse tab just a tiny bit to far to the right, things won’t work anymore.donb wrote:place a reverse tab in the ruler at the far right
A fix for this behaviour has been requested quite often, but the Redlers haven’t confirmed this as a bug as far as I know. I think it is a big annoyance, especially since I sometimes have to shift page margins and then I always have to readjust the reverse tabs…

Thanks very much, Don. Very helpful.
Re: Page numbers, leading periods in TOC?
One problem as I attempt to do this - the "Lead:" under Margins and Tabs is not live, so can't be selected.
Re: Page numbers, leading periods in TOC?
You must first click on the tab mark on the ruler and that will make the tabs lead section of the palette live.
