Question
Dear Roy,

I am struggling to get the page numbers on my content page for a 200 page book lined up underneath each other.
I used plain text to write the content page, e.g.
Chapter 1 - Understanding  .........................   1
Chapter 2 - Catching  ..............................  12

The numbers are just very slightly out of line.
How do I line them up?

Thanks!

Answer
Hi Ingela,

The solution is to insert "Right Indent Tabs" just before the page numbers. Here's a link that explains how to do this:

Best of luck with the book!
