Karyn, Chances are you're just missing tab characters on your TOC reference page. The pgf tag may have a tab stop set, but if there's no typed tab character, nothing moves. View > Reference Pages Watch the status bar and scroll until you're on the TOC reference page. View > Text Symbols Make sure there's a tab symbol inserted between <$paratext> and <$pagenum> in each TOC pgf. (Again, watch the status bar to see which pgf type your cursor is in.)
