Re: indent right margin on first line

[David Crowe <David.Crowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill Briggs gave me an awesome solution to this problem. I've cc'd 
him in the hopes that he will share it again.

I used it on my TOC's and the problem has virtually gone away. A few 
paragraphs still need soft returns inserted, but for most of them the 
page number, with leader, ends up on the right margin even when the 
paragraph text in the TOC is split over multiple lines.

I'd try to explain it, but I don't fully understand it. I just know 
that it works.

It does require some work on the reference pages to insert tabs, but 
that only needs to be done once.
