In the latter case, you may consider switching from your current LaTeX class (whichever it is) to a class that can be easily and heavily customized to your (professor's) needs, such as KomaScript or memoir. It will take some time to learn how to do so, but it will pay off in the end. Unless you are already at the end...in which case: congrats!

Some document classes allow for direct customization of TOC appearance. Alternatively, you need to use a specific LaTeX package such as tocloft. E.g. in preamble: \usepackage{tocloft} \renewcommand\cftsecfont{\mdseries\normalfont} \renewcommand\cftsecpagefont{\mdseries\normalfont} \renewcommand\cftsecleader{\cftdotfill{\cftsecdotsep}} \renewcommand\cftsecdotsep{\cftdotsep} Jürgen > Thanks, > Jonas

The section-level has no filling dots between title and page-number in the doc but the other levels have them. My professor wants also filling dots in the section-level. How can I do these 2 things in Lyx? I've tried to right-click the TOC-placeholder because I thought that could be set there, but I can't find any setting for that. This all has to be done in LaTeX. LyX doesn't provide any means to customize this, as it is all defined in the document class. I haven't messed with this in a long time, but I seem to recall that the titletoc package is very helpful.

Design of TOC
Hello, my professor wants a slightly different design of the table of contents: 1. Lyx makes the section title and page-number in TOC bold and the other levels normal. My professor wants all in normal, so the section-title and -pagenumber shouldn't be bold. 2. The section-level has no filling dots between title and page-number in the doc but the other levels have them. My professor wants also filling dots in the section-level. How can I do these 2 things in Lyx? I've tried to right-click the TOC-placeholder because I thought that could be set there, but I can't find any setting for that. Thanks, Jonas
