Where does the space come from in the TOC?

[Ulrich Mayring]

Hi everyone,

I include a screenshot of my TOC. It has a space between the chapter number and the chapter title on all lines except one. I have marked these spaces in blue and the one line, where it is missing, I've marked in red.

Undoubtedly it has something to do with the TOC paragraph or character style used in that line. It is defined to be at the 3rd level of headings, the indentation reflects those levels. However, I've found no place in the styles, where this additional space character is defined. Of course I can manually insert a space, but whenever the TOC is updated, the manual space disappears again.

Many thanks in advance,

Ulrich

I assume the numbered headings in the body of your document have a tab after the list number. If that's the case, you'll need to add a tab for the TOC text style used for B.6.1 and set it to a value greater than the width of the list number.

I would guess that the spaces (blue and red) are Tab stops, the red one just happens to line up so close that it appears to be no space.

It's not a tab, it's a space character.

All of my TOC text styles have only one tab stop at 0mm and it's a right tab, so that is responsible for the page number being all the way to the right.

I've attached a slimmed-down version of my document, perhaps you could look at it?

Kind regards,

Ulrich

You forgot to add a space to the A.1.1 Subsektion style - I think you intended to add a space between the last two characters:

Ah darn, there you go! I just didn't see the space in the other formats! Need a bigger monitor at my age now

Kind regards,
