<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>IMO, this is one prime reason not to use tabs to separate page numbers from the text of index entries. What presentation would be visually logical for the continuation line? Even if the continuation line does not split the page numbers into two groups, what in the world do you do about the leader dots? The result of using a right-aligned tab looks wrong whether the continuation line includes them or eliminates them. <br><br>The only time I, personally, would ever consider using tabs in an index is when the page design uses a column width that is wide enough to guarantee no line-wrapped entries. And in that particular case I would still avoid the tab because I think that the wide separation between entries and page numbers would make the index much harder to read and use. <br><br>-Fred Ridder<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: TechSubs@VibrantLivingMinistries.org<br>To: Framers@Lists.FrameUsers.com<br>Subject: FM 8: In standard index, tabbing problem with page numbers<br>Date: Sat, 5 Oct 2013 10:48:47 -0700<br><br><style><!--

I have formatted my index entries with right-aligned tabs with leader dots. When an entry appears on several pages, such that the page numbers must wrap, then on the second line an extra set of leader dots appears. It looks something like this:<br><br> Entry . . . . . 16, 27, 42,<br> 71, . . . . . . . . . . . . 119<br><br>With text symbols displayed, I see that the marker and tab character preceding “71” both appear on the line above, following “42, “. <br><br>I’m guessing that there is a better way to set this up, so that this anomaly does not occur. But does the solution lie in changing the paragraph tag, or perhaps elsewhere? I tried changing the alignment setting from left justified to justified, but that did not help.<br><br>Input greatly appreciated!<br><br>Thank you kindly,<br>Elchanan</span></p></div><br>_______________________________________________
