Embedded TOC questions

Hi Dan,

You have to replace the space by tabs on the reference page. 
There for each of your TOC paragraph formats there are 
placeholders. Something like:
<$paranum> <$paratext> <$pagenum>
Just replace the space between the paratext and the pagenum
placeholders with _two_ tabs (if you have a tab stop between
your numbering and the paragraph text). Two tabs ensure that 
the page number is aligned correctly also after a line break.

Everything is also explained in more detail in the online help.

Best regards

Winfried
