Hi Valerie;
The tables are throughout the book, not just the TOC. I wasn't sure if
using the table tool in the middle of the book would create any problems
with the conversion. I haven't attempted making the tables, but if I have
any questions, I'll let you know.
Thanks,
Vivian

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.

Keep up with Nichole's recovery:

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
