I didn't understand exactly what you wanted to do, and I wouldn't even begin
to guess what you did or didn't do wrong, but here's how I tighten up the
table of contents in my layout file:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% ### Vertically denser table of contents
\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
\...@twocolumn
\...@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
\...@restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapter*{\contentsname
\...@mkboth{%
\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
{
\normalsize\setlength{\parskip}{-6pt}\setstretch{0.9}%
% \normalsize\setlength{\parskip}{-8pt}\setstretch{0.8}%
\...@starttoc{toc}%
}
\...@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I'm not smart enough to have written that. I copied the book document class's
implementation of command tableofcontents and simply tweaked its lengths. Note
that the setstretch{} command requires a special package, I think it's the
setspace package.
