Changing Table of contents direction in word 2010?

Question

I'm using word 2010 and I'm trying to create a TOC for a right-to-left language. The problem is that word creates the TOC as left-to-right, meaning that the chapter names are on the left side and the page numbers on the right. Can it be changed?

Answer 1

Yes you can change this. Create the TOC and then select al of the entries. Right click, choose Paragraph, and under "indents and spacing" > "General", you can change the direction to right to left.

The next time you create a TOC you may have to do this again. You may have the option to make it a permanent change by going to Page layout/page setup/layout/select direction/right to left.

Let me know if you can't see the right to left changes, then it may be something that has to be changed in your editing languages for word which will require a little research on my part.
