Tina, You say "On the reference page, I inserted the tab, and the <$pagenum> text."
Did you also hit the Tab character on the keyboard in the spot where the tab is set?

Dot leaders in an index of markers (Tina Ricks) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2010 11:08:53 -0800 From: "Tina Ricks" <t...@trialguides.com> To: <framers@lists.frameusers.com> Subject: Dot leaders in an index of markers Message-ID: <003901cb989d$b02a4a00$107ede...@com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi there- I'm wrestling with an index and reference pages. Maybe someone can help. I'm in FM8. This is an author index in a large book of professional papers for a conference. (Some authors wrote multiple papers, some papers have multiple authors). I want the index to look like this: A Abner, Joseph Paper Title ..................page num Adams, John Quincy First paper title.................page num Second paper title...............page num B (etc. etc.) My markers are the "Author" type. A typical marker looks like this (inside the marker dialog box): Abner, Joseph:Paper Title So. I want page numbers with dot leaders for the second level in this index only, not the first level. On the reference pages, I've modified the Level2IOM style to add a right tab with dot leaders. On the reference page, I inserted the tab, and the <$pagenum> text. My reference page looks like this: -------------------------- 1, 2-3 Level2IOM............................................................... .... .......................................... <$pagenum> Symbols[\ ];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics> -_-- Level1IOM openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId> <$pagenum> -------------------------- I re-generate the book. No dice. Nothing I've managed, short of typing in the tab character where I want it (after every Level 2 entry, before the page number) will make these dot leaders show up. I've deleted the whole Index of Markers and started over again (figuring I messed something up irreparably), no dice. No dot leaders. I would love any advice to make dot leaders behave themselves.
