RE: indent right margin on first line

["Halleman, Joseph (Joseph)" <halleman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Garth,
Please note that my technique of adding non-breaking spaces or soft returns to the paragraph headings, table titles, or figure captions is done in the chapter/section files of the document, not in the TOC, LOF, or LOT files. My technique only needs to be done once to the headings. The non-breaking spaces and soft returns are carried over to the TOC, LOF, and LOT files just like any other character in the heading.
I hope this clarifies my technique.

A fillip to the very viable techniques that Joseph lists here is to
adjust the right margin of the header in question; this will only affect
the display of the header on the page, not the ToC.  Note: As this does
cause you to have "non-standard" paragraphs, global changes to this
paratype will wipe it out.  You *can* fudge that by creating a new
paratag, but that induces its own maintenance issues. <wry grin>

Generally I only use this technique when I have to go to print "Right
Now", and don't have time to work out the more elegant/robust solution.

Lisa,
Here are some workarounds that I use on my TOCs, LOTs, and LOFs.

From the generated list determine where the title needs to break so the
title wraps without going into the page number area. Go to the offending
(Ctrl+Alt+click heading) heading, table title, or figure caption in the
document and either: 
1) insert a soft return in the title to force it to wrap at the point
you noted in the generated list, or 
2) replace the spaces between the last few words of the title with
non-breaking spaces (Esc n s) to hold the words together. You will have
to Update Book again to see if the changes fixed the line problem. It
may take several tries to get it to look okay in both locations.

Lisa

My solution is to transform all the TOC lines in two pgfs, the first a
run-in head with a right indent. With FrameScript it is very simple.
