Table of Contents Format Dialog Box
The Table of Contents Format dialog box displays when you click the Format button in the Properties area for a table of contents format object. It is used to set or change the formatting of the selected object.
The Table of Contents Format dialog box contains the following options:
Indent levels - Indents second and subsequent levels by a certain amount. You can adjust the indent in the Table of Contents Format Details dialog box, accessed by clicking the Details button.
Details - opens the Table of Contents Format Details dialog box, in which you can change apply specific details for numbering and indenting to the table of contents.
Show page numbers - Generates page numbers for the associated table of content entries. You can accept the default settings for page numbers, or you can specify new settings for leader dots and aligning page numbers in the subsequent fields.
This option is selected by default. Note that page numbers, and any settings made for the display of page numbers, will only be displayed in table of contents generated in print or PDF outputs.
Right align page numbers - This option is available when the Show page numbers option is selected.
Text right indent - Specifies the amount by which to indent an entry's text, relative to the right margin. The default setting is 2 picas. This option can be set to prevent the text in titles extending all the way to the right margin, i.e. into the area used for page numbers. See the note at the end of this description for input options.
Minimum space or leaders before page number - Specifies the width of the fill area that must exist between the entry text and the page number. When a table of contents entry is formatted, if less space than this minimum is available the text will be split across lines and the page number, along with space or leaders, will appear on the last line. See the note at the end of this description for input options.
Leader dots - Specifies that the fill area between the text and page number contains leader dots. if this option is not selected, the fill area will be blank. The leader dot option is available when Right align page numbers is selected.
Spacing - Sets the amount of space between individual leader dots. See the note at the end of this description for input options.
Arbortext Styler will not insert a break before or after a leader dot. If Arbortext Styler cannot fit in a string of leader dots that is the minimum length because the table of content entry is too long, it will break the table of content entry before the last word.
Arbortext Editor / HTML Preview - Provides a dynamic graphical representation of the table of contents in Editor view or in HTML output, based on the settings made in this dialog box.
Print / PDF Preview - Provides a dynamic graphical representation of the table of contents in print or PDF output, based on the settings made in this dialog box.
