Hi, Vivian!
The tool preserves tables built on tabs in Office, if that is your concern.
So,
tables where appropriate are allowable, even desirable.
The general reference for replacing tabs with a space is as in the beginning of
paragraphs and copyright page. Another mutually agreed upon allowable
exception, to make a TOC more readable, if you don't want to make it a table,
is
to use an ellipsis between chapter name and page number. That may have been
decided after the last manual revision by common consensus.
Most of the people I know like the TOC as a table for ease of viewing, but not
everyone wants to do that much work. Its easy for me and easier for me to
proof, so I make it a table. After all, it is a TABLE of contents, right?
Grin.
Valerie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question on formatting
Hello,
How do I handle a table in the body of the book? Can I use a table format used
for the table of contents? I have several lists in the body of the book, that
the columns should be lined up. The manual says that tabs will be converted to
a
single space.
Thanks,
Vivian
