SYMPTOMS
========

When you view a table of contents in online layout view, the page numbers may be
wrapped to the next line.

CAUSE
=====

When a table of contents is created, a right-aligned tab is set at the right
margin. By design, online layout view uses left and right margins of 1.25 inches
and ignores the actual margins set for the document. If the margins in your
document are set smaller than 1.25, the table of contents may wrap when you view
it in online layout view.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, use any of the following methods.

Method 1: Turn on Wrap To Window
--------------------------------

In online layout view, select the Wrap To Window option to keep the table of
contents from wrapping. To turn on the Wrap To Window option, follow these
steps:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

2. On the View tab, click Wrap To Window.

3. Click OK.

NOTE: If Document Map is turned on (on the Edit menu, click Document Map), you
may have to resize the Document Map window after selecting Wrap To Window to
keep the table of contents from wrapping.

Method 2: Set a minimum size for text displayed in online layout
----------------------------------------------------------------

While in online layout view, you can set a minimum font size to ensure that your
document is always legible on the screen.

To set a minimum font size, follow these steps:

1. On the View menu, click Online Layout.

2. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab.

3. In the "Enlarge fonts less than" box, enter the minimum font size you want.

4. Click OK.

If these methods do not work, your document may have formatting that makes it
impossible to keep the table of contents from wrapping in online layout view.
