• Understanding tabs in TOC n styles

    From Peter T. Daniels@21:1/5 to Manuel Barrena on Mon Feb 3 06:36:04 2020
    Tab _stops_ are automatically spaced (the US versions put them 1/2 inch
    apart, I suppose European ones would put them 1 cm apart), and you can
    change that default distance.

    The leader-dots and the position of the page number in a ToC depend only
    on having a "left tab" at the far right end of the paragraph ruler, and
    that only appears in the ruler at the top of the window (maybe you even
    have the rulers turned off). Show Non-Printing Characters shows you where
    the tab characters are but not where the tab stops are.

    When I create a Table of content, page numbers are written at the left

    to TOC 9 must have left tab stops defined at the left margin position.
    By using reveal formatting button, I can see the tab stops defined in
    their correct positions, what is completely right. However, if I examine
    the style TOC 1 by using the modify style option through the Style pane
    and access to the Tabs section from the button Format, then no tab stops appear defined there. I wonder then where is stored the information
    about tab stops to be applied in each TOC entry? Why the tab stops information does not appear in the tab section of the paragrahp style?
    It seems like the tab information had seen manually defined, but this is
    not possible because the paragrahp style is automatically applied by
    Word, so what am I missing here?
