In my MS Word document I am using outline style bulleting. On line
6.a.ii there seems to be a hiddent character, formatting or some type
of tab that causes a 2+ inch gap between columns 12 and 13. Deleting
the whole line and retyping does not clear the problem.

Thanks,

Did you try turning on the non-printing characters? Did you look at the tab
settings?
 
Yes and yes.

I went above it and pressed enter which created a new item ii. Bad
line became iii and I deleted it. Problem solved but not
satisfactorily.

Thanks,

It suggest that the document was slightly corrupt. If it is Word 2003 or
Word 2007, try using SaveAs and choose XML format. Close the document and
then open it and use SaveAs to get it back to *.doc(t) format.

You are describing outline numbering, which doesn't seem to have anythingto
do with columns. Can you explain your reference to "columns 12 and 13"? You
may want to look athttp://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NumberAlignment.htm,
however.

Didn't fix the problem but did reduce my TOC to a single line inside
{}.


Thanks for trying.
 
Just press F9 (Update Field) to refresh the TOC. What you are seeing is just
the field in braces.
