: InDesign: how to construct table of contents with dots between titles and page numbers What I mean is something like this, which I found on a Word document I've been asked to redesign in InDesign.

Type in the chapter titles line by line
Insert a Tab at the end of each line
Type in the page numbers after the tabs
Hit Ctrl+Alt+I which turns on the hidden characters so you can actually see the tabs in blue
Select the entire TOC (Table of contents)
Hit Ctrl+Shift+T. A ruler pops open which let you adjust the tabs. Click anywhere you wish to position all the tabs (red marker). This marker can be dragged with your mouse of you can adjust the position in the 'X:' field
Make sure this marker points to the right. Select it and choose the third icon top left (under the 'Tabs' title).
Type a '.' (dot) in the 'Leader' field
