Erroneous formatting of page number in Table of Contents

Post by DrBoo »

Bug report: Table of Contents field presentation error
Atlantis 1.5.4.7 and prior releases
From Bruce E Batchelor eql@shaw.ca

When the Atlantis “Table of Contents” is run with the TOC styles simultaneous with heading/subheading styles, those headings which are less than about 6 characters default to left position of the page number, with no trailing dots, as in the example attached in the PDF

I have a PDF for the display of this error, but canot attach it

The error is cured by having more than eight characters in the text of the heading

Sample of bad TOC formatting

Post by DrBoo »

Here is the sample. It has to be in PDF because sending a word processor format may not show it.

Due to some reason your PDF file cannot be downloaded. Could you try to re-post it, or attach the screen capture (image) of the problem?

It downloads just fine to me, and my original runs as well. I am leaving this topic. The time I spent on it was as a kindness to others, as the fault was very aggravating to me, but I have no more to say about it, and I can work around it with blank spaces. You can likely replicate easily by assigning TOC levels to headings, and restricting heading size to 4 characters.

Greetings--
Could you please post/send a RTF or DOC version of your problem document?
PDFs are binaries and the original RTF or DOC formatting is lost in them.
Also could you please check how many tab stops you see on the ruler when the caret is within a TOC item in your RTF/DOC document?
Problems like you mention might happen if there is more than one tab stop on a single TOC line.
Cheers
Robert
