How can I get a hader or footer to have the same line have some info on the
left and some on the right, like this:

XXXX XXXXX

or do I manual space it?

Thanks
 
The default header and footer styles have center and right tabs set. Try
pressing the tab key. Otherwise, you can use a table.

If the tabs are not set right for your margins, modify them in the header
style.

I would like to format a Table of Contents like this:

1. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_________________ 3. XXXXXXXXXXXXX______________

2. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_________________ 4. XXXXXXXXXXXXX_______________






I see how to make the columns, but the underscores see to have a mind of their own.

I would like a page of underscores where there is no text.

Thanks.
 
The only way I can think of achieving that ToC formatting would be to create the ToC, select the ToC and use Ctrl+Shift+F9 (UnLink Fields) to turn it into text. Then you can format it how you like. However, you cannot refresh it, so if you make an edit later on, you will need to delete the ToC and recreate it again.

Hi,

You can make underscores without text easily using tables with bottom
borders in the cells. Putting individual entries of a TOC in a Word Table,
though, would be very tedious, and as Terry says, it would not be something
that you could easily update.

You might try selecting the automatically generated TOC and setting it up
into columns and see what that gets you.
