Summary:

In Microsoft Word, the character spacing in lines of a table of contents may differ when each line is printed.

This difference will be especially noticeable if line numbering is used to number the entries, and spaces are used to separate the entry number from the entry.

There are two ways to work around this problem:


 * 1) From the File menu, choose Print and select the Fractional Widths option. This option will cause the LaserWriter to use consistent letter spacing, but may cause problems with alignment of columns and fully justified text.
 * 2) Use tabs to separate the entry number from the entry text. The start of the text for each entry will line up properly, but the letter spacing within the entry text may differ for each entry.
