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.

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?

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. -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited 3781 Victoria Park Avenue, Unit 3 Toronto, ON, Canada M1W 3K5 <tel:%2B1%20%28416%29%20491-7340%20x%20325> +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 <http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com> http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as <mailto:jerilynne.knight at gmail.com> jerilynne.knight at gmail.com.
