I have found a solution to the Jason tab that has worked for me periodically - and I think - it is a permanent fix. View the rulers and remove the tab mark that is errant manually by clicking and holding and dragging it off the ruler.

You can get rid of it, even if just temporarily, by selecting the TOC and clearing the formatting: ctrl-Q for paragraph formatting, and ctrl-space for character formatting - this might work to reset the tabs in your TOC style.

There are two tabs for TOC 1 and two tabs for TOC 2. In one document the first tab of each TOC style doesn't display, in the other document it does display. I have been over and over the TOC setup, checking and re-checking each detail. I have removed and replaced the troublesome TOC many times. I have checked the heading styles and there are no differences. It has me stumped. I've never seen a Word TOC misbehave before. Is this a new 'feature' in Word 7?
