Tabs in TOC

[Art Campbell]

Nina,

Are you putting a tab stop between the variables on the Reference Page
of the TOC, or literally inserting the three letters "TAB?" It needs
to be a real tab stop. If it's inserting the letters "TAB" it's
because that's what you put on the Reference page...

And then you need to modify the corresponding paragraph tag
(Heading1TOC, for instance) to have a tab stop at the appropriate
spot. That's also where you'd set the leadering.

Be sure to save the TOC file before updating the book to use the new settings.
