SYMPTOMS
When you view the Microsoft Word Help topic about the TOC field, the information about using up to five characters with the "\p" switch is incorrect.   \p "Separators"     Specifies the characters that separate an entry and its page number. For example, the field {TOC \p "---"} displays a result such as                      "Selecting Text---53." The default is a tab with leader dots. You can use up to five characters, which must be enclosed in quotation marks. For more information about the TOC field, click Contents and Index on the Help menu, click the Index tab in Word Help, type the following text

toc

and then double-click the selected text to go to the "Field codes: TOC (Table of Contents) field" topic. If you are unable to find the information you need, ask the Office Assistant.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The maximum number of characters that can be used with the "\p" switch is one. The Word TOC Help topic should correctly state the following:

The default is a tab with leader dots. You can use only one character, which must be enclosed in quotation marks.
