Leader Lines

Hi All,

   I'm drawing a blank and the help system isn't readily giving me the info I need. I'm sure the info is there, I just can't find it and I'm in a hurry...

   I have a template TOC with leader lines and a tab setting of 6.375. I've just generated the TOC for a new book but 1) the leader lines aren't there and 2) the file is ignoring the tab set and putting the page numbers flush left to the chapter title text. I've imported the template formats into the new TOC several times but it's not picking up on the leader lines or the tab stop. (It's getting the font, font size and indent right, but losing the info about the leader lines and tabs.) 
   
   What am I doing wrong? Where are my leader lines? And how can I get them back either a) automatically or b) manually? Are leader lines set in the paragraph designer? The format designer? The reference page? (In which case I'm sunk b/c I don't know diddly about how to set up reference pages.)

  I'm on FrameMaker 7.1 with Windows XP and the lone writer in a small shop with godawful deadlines and a patch due out this week.
