Hi, i believe im creating the toa correctly but when i go to print it, the dot leaders disapper and the formating like double spacing changes to single space. Any idea what is causing this? Any help is really appriciated
@azbullmastiff, I bet that the style for ToA entries is set to single-spaced. When you fix it, are you selecting the text in the ToA and changing that, or are you changing the style? There should be a style for ToA in the list of all the styles.
Also, it's best to turn off the show/hide button before you generate or regenerate your TOA because MS Word isn't smart enough to realize all that code that marking the cites has added to your document is actually shifting all the words around and throwing everything off by a page. So on the Home Tab click the show/hide button off and then generate the TOA so you have the correct pages listed. My little tricks of the trade after many painful days of working on briefs, LOL.
1=cases; 2 =Statutes; 3=Other Authorities; 4=Rules; 5=Treatises and 6=Regulations. Just simply change the \ c 2 to a \c 1 and then regenerate your TOA. That's it. Big time saver.
Just wanted to let you know that you do not have to delete the entire marked cite if you categorized it incorrectly. At the end of the code for the marked cite you just need to change one little number. Lets say you marked a case as a statute... at the end of the code there is a \c 2. The number repesents the category it will be in. When you click on the Category drop-down arrow in the Mark Citation dialog box it will list the categories as Cases, Statutes, Other Autorities etc....
you should use advance software for recording you desktop screen
