You're welcome, and thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.

Don't know what FYP is, but cheers! :D

126,000+ views and you're the only one who says to speak clearer. For the record, it's a video I recorded over 5-years ago on a crappy laptop with a crappy headset to help someone out who was stuck. I'm pleased to say that my newer videos do have much better sound and graphics and, to that end, trust and pray that both they and my unclear voice meet your quality standards.

You're welcome.

You're welcome. Thanks for letting me know it helped, I appreciate it.

Pleased to have helped and thanks for letting me know, I appreciate you doing that.

Hi there, it has to work. If it doesn't, there's a different issue. Go here -- www.wordforbusinesses.com/-- use the chatbox in the corner and use item 4 to send me the document. Make sure there's no confidential information in the document. I have some time today so can do a quick fix.

One way is with the relevant TOC style, adjust the paragraph 'Right indent' and the right tab mark to ensure that the line wraps before the tab. That way the tab follows the line wrap. drive.google.com/file/d/1uU0XziYnpmBUuIiq7Lw2v4rqZ4Te8Abt/view?usp=sharing

You're welcome. Pleased it helped, and thanks for letting me know.

Go here, @Megan, and in the contact/assistance box, use option 4. Please ensure the problem's crystal clear. Use Loom to record a video and show me, if necessary. If the document's confidential, please say. www.wordforbusinesses.com/

mine too :)

You're welcome, Marie, and many thanks for letting me know - I appreciate that. Though this video was recorded over 5-years ago now, the crucial point you must remember when using Word is that EVERYTHING in Word has a style -- EVERYTHING. As such, when you understand how Word uses these (and as you've seen in this video these TOC styles are initially hidden from you) the jigsaw puzzle starts to come together. I say to others to forget learning anything else in Word except styles because once you understand these, the rest just falls into place. It's true.

Yes, of course. Feel free to learn how to do it yourself and then tag me when you post it. Would love to see the simplified version.

Select ONE line of the ToC ONLY and then press Ctrl+Shift,S to show the Apply Style panel. It should tell you what ToC style level is in use. Click Modify, then Format, then Tabs. That will show the Tab stops for that style. If you can resolve it and want me to, go here: www.wordforbusinesses.com, use the Contact/Assistance box in the bottom right, and then option 4. Please read all instructions there and you can send me the file to look at.

@@RussCrowleyI still didn't get the measurements. Was I supposed to? I'll ask my mom if she is ok sending the page to you. I think she's worried about people stealing her work.

You're welcome, Kai, and thanks for letting me know it helped.

You're most welcome, Anuradha. I have a lot more tips and tricks over at www.wordforbusinesses.com, if you ever have need.

I'm pleased that it helped and thanks for the kind feedback.

Pleased it helped, Ken, and thanks for letting me know.

If you change your tone and also take the time to explain your problem rather than just ranting at the person who recorded the video (me) then, first, I might actually be able to help you; and, second, be inclined to do so.

You're welcome, Kajal, and thanks for letting me know - I appreciate it.

You're welcome. Pleased to help.

Hi Russ, Thanks for replying! I examined the document a bit further. Turns out the page numbering was even wrong so the Table of Contents was reflecting what was actually in the document. I have used the 'Find & Replace' tool to remove all the section breaks and everything is fine now. I will just start reformatting it again page by page. Thanks a million! NB: By the way, I also wrote you about this issue using your websites contact form. Kindly ignore it. Cheers.

Turn on Show/hide characters (Ctrl+Shift-8) and then select just the pilcrow at the end.

Damn you are good! Incredible response time too. Thanks so much!

Your question's answered below but, first off, DON'T use tabs. I know Microsoft give you that option, but it's poor practice and will prove more problematic than you'd want. Instead, create a new style (call it First Para, Double Indent, or whatever) and then, in the Paragraph settings, set the First Line Indent to the distance you require. It saves you having to all the time. It's better, easier, more consistent and more reliable. When you need to use this design, just click on the style and it's done. With your leading dots, check your tab settings (Alt+T,O on the keyboard). The first tab setting will have a 'Leader' set [with those dots your seeing]. Click on the appropriate tab stop, set Leader to 'None', click 'Set', and then Ok. That'll fix it.

@@RussCrowley, thank you so much.

Yes. I replied to Chris also, but RU-vid aren't showing it. It's because of your tab leader. You'll need to modify the style itself, but this is what you do: 1) Place your cursor in the offending place. 2) Press Alt,O,T on the keyboard (or Paragraph settings, then the Tabs button) and then you'll see you have a leader before that tab. Delete the leader (click none and then on Set or delete the tab if you don't need it). 3) Update the style. That's it.

@@CASSAAUSTRALIA Thank you from the bottom of my heart
