Another question:This book also have lots of itemized list, can I use the table for this as well -- making it a 1 column table? Or, what's a better solution.
Right now, there are paragraph markers after each line, when that gets converted, will there not be a blank line after each paragraph?

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?

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
