If you select Space, no leader is created.

If you select Use Template, the iTOC 1 to iTOC 15 styles in the Word template specify the leaders for the corresponding TOC entry levels. Select this option if you want different leader characters for all the different TOC Entry levels or if you want leaders only for some levels. If you select Use Template, do the following to set up the iTOC styles in Microsoft Word:

  1. Note the width of the left column of the single row table in the Word TOC Template.
  2. Open the Styles pane.
  3. Click Options....
  4. On the Style Pane Options box, for Select styles to show, click All styles.
  5. To set up an iTOC style, right-click the iTOC Style, and click Modify….
  6. Click Format > Tabs….
  7. Do one of the following:
    • Create a tab stop for the left column width that you noted on step 1, for the right alignment, and for a leader character.
    • If you do not want leaders, clear all tab stops.
Left Column Entry Text Specify the text that resolves in the left hand column of the TOC. If this is left blank, the values from the assembly tree (TOC Tree Values) populate the left column of the generated TOC.
  • In the TOC editor and the preview file, left column entry text resolves fully.
  • Volume variables, $VN and $VNAME, cannot be included in the Left Column Entry Text field for TOC Attributes. They do not resolve in published output.
  • Variables resolved only at publishing time will not be resolved in the Left Column Entry Text. For more information, see: InSight System-Defined Variables
