Hi,

I've created a TOC in Word and noticed that I have long headings that overhang its page number. How can I adjust it so that this is resolved?

Thank you.

Modify the relevant TOC style (TOC 1, TOC 2, etc.) to have a right indent, leaving the right-aligned tab stop at the right margin. See http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/TOCTips.htm#IndentsTabs
