TOC, LOT: Leader dots on second line of text?
Richard Combs response from yesterday should solve your problem: "In the appropriate reference page specifications, simply add a second Tab (not a tab stop, but a second Tab key press or \t) in front of <$pagenum>. If you anticipate three-line headings/captions, add a third Tab."

Pat, Entering a soft return at the desired break point, then entering a tab at the left of the new line will do it.

Hi, I know this question has been asked many times, but I can't find any threads with the answers. Here is the situation: We have a TOC and LOT that uses leader dots that lead to a page number on a right tab; eg Table 3-1 List of Program Parameters...3-3 The problem is when the para text is longer than 1 line and the page number wraps to second line.
