[Framers] TOC Formatting Problem

[Fred Ridder]

I suspect that the text frame on the left master page in the TOC file (i.e. the layout template for the even pages) is just slightly narrower than the text frame on the right master page (used for the odd pages). Safe practice places the tab stop for the page numbers slightly inside the edge of the text frame rather than right on it to avoid this kind of problem in case something changes by just a smidgen.

That happens to me when there isn't enough room for the right-aligned tab
to fit within the text frame. When I define the tab a little more to the
left, it works OK. I don't know why some of your pages come
me out OK and some not, but try reducing the right-aligned tab.
