Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't this just as simple as changing
the paragraph setting of your second and subsequent lines to start at the
point of the end of the leader dot's of the first line?

 

Also, while this may not work in this case, I often control line breaks in
the generated files by putting non-breaking spaces between words at the end
of the line in headings that don't wrap properly. This causes them to be
brought down to the second line in a controlled fashion. Since the fix is in
the heading itself, it only has to be done once.

I agree, this manual work of inserting soft returns to the index is very
irritating. 

Your solution didn´t work for me. On the reference page I have

 

><$pagenum> (the first “>” is a tab stop)

I tried

>\t<$pagenum> and >\t\t\t<$pagenum>

But it did not change the index output

 

Still looks like this:

Nhgjgkjgjhgkh ghgjhg …..154, 217
   232

 

And for other entries:

Nhgjgkjgjhgkh ghgjhg …..154, 217
   232 ……………………………….268, 395

 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thanks for correcting that Stuart (was multi-tasking, not wise!)

Another way I've done this is to insert at least 3 tab characters (not tab
stops) before the page number. Maybe that will give you a bit of automation
for those long entries.

 

... Jerilynne means, "on the reference page" for the TOC or other generated
file.

I’m sure you’ve all had the problem with TOCs, LOTs, LOFs, and even indexes.
When the title reaches the end of the line (or too many index entries), the
tab character that should position the page number at right aligned tab
doesn’t work, and the page number appears left justified on the second line
with or without continued text. I’ve always gone through and manually fixed
the issue by inserting soft returns after the lists are generated, but I
have a client with a huge document and LOTs and LOFs that are 20 pages each.
Has anyone figured out an automated way to fix this problem? My experiments
haven’t turned up a solution.
