OK, Rick's script saved my bacon yet again, and while I am on a roll, I am gonna' get greedy and ask if someone can refresh the fuzzy recesses of my aging mind.
Right now, when I have lines that don't wrap correctly in my TOC (based on the length of the text for a tag), I am going through and manually adding the needed breaks, but of course, this is tedious work and I loathe doing it every time I produce a final book because either I forget to do it or I miss a line or two. Wasn't there a script "out there somewhere?" that magically did this for you? If anyone remembers this script and can point me in the right direction (other than off a cliff which is what I feel like doing right now), I would most appreciate it.
