Wrap in a Table of Contents



Fellow Framers,

I'm working on a template designed by someone else.
The paper size is 7x8.5" and it has a sidehead -- the
point being that the text column is relatively narrow.

Each chapter has an embedded ToC, which I chose to
set up with cross-references (rather than embedding
an external file as an inset). Not only is the text
column narrow, but the headings are very verbose (and
I can't change these facts, unfortunately). Therefore,
sometimes the ToC entries wrap to a second line. The
entries are formatted with a dot leader and a right-
justified page number. I also have no choice but to use
this format (i.e., I can't use the traditional form of
following the entry with an em-space and the page number).

This works fine if the heading is VERY long:

This is a heading in the Toc and it is long enough
to wrap to the next line.......................2-25

or of course, if it is short:

This is a normal heading.......................3-12

But if it is a certain length, the page number will
wrap as follows:

This is one of those troublesome headings....
  11-23

And it looks terrible!

Does this make sense? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
