1. Re: TOC Style Confusion
P Spier Jul 27, 2011 2:40 PM (in response to Jack)The obvious first step is to be sure you really assigned the correct style to the listings.
Assuming that's the case, one thing that will cause text not to look as you expect in a TOC is if character styles ot local formatting overrides have been applied to that text in the body of the document.

2. Re: TOC Style Confusion
Jack Jul 27, 2011 6:14 PM (in response to P Spier)Thanks. Table of contents title has the style "TOC Title". Entry style is "TOC BodyText" and page number style is "TOC PgNr". Styles are not used elsewhere in the document, hence are not believed to have been overriden. The only paragraph style to be included is "Chapter Head", which is used only once so far in my document. Each new chapter will contain this heading. That is all that the TOC will contain; nothing else.
Experimental changes in settings do not lead to expected results. Tried changing the entry style to "Page Number" (size 8 points). Nothing changes. Entry style remains the same as table title. If there has been an override, I have no idea where to look for it.
Tried deleting and re-creating the table of contents. New table of contents is automatically formatted using exactly the same settings as the one just deleted.

3. Re: TOC Style Confusion
P Spier Jul 28, 2011 5:27 AM (in response to Jack)The place to be looking for overrides is in the body of the document. your headings there should carry a paragraph style (required for inlusion in the TOC), but should not have any separately applied character styles or local overrides unless you want those overrrided to also appear in the TOC. Nested styles are OK.
The other thing to check is that you are not applying some character style, in addition to the TOC listing paragraph style, in the listings. Many new users are confused about how to use character styles, especially if they have a background of Quark use. In ID character styles sshould be used ONLY to change the style of isolated special cases within a paragraph, not to style an entire paragraph. Basic text style for any paragraph is part of the paragraph style definition.

Jack Jul 28, 2011 10:50 AM (in response to P Spier)Thanks, and yes, I had defined some character styles, which I have now trashed. After some further updates, the TOC now appears normal.

Well, something is wrong with it (surprise!). That address is of the right sort, and the mail server certainly exists and works:
