I have a large book I'm working on. A collection of writings of various family members now deceased. My Table of Contents is very simple, arranged by authors. Following is a screenshot.
As you can see when I generate the TOC into my document it puts the page numbers under each entry instead of to the left. Ugly and not as shown in Apple's how to guides. How do I solve this problem?
Thanks, Jerry

After a little experimentation that seems to be the issue. My document is 6” x 9”. If i re-size the document to default, 8.5” x 11”, the TOC is inserted correctly.
So I tried to copy and paste to the smaller document with no success. So it seems, unless someone has a better idea, exporting the TOC in iOs does not work for smaller than default settings.
There are various ways you might have chosen to insert your Table of Contents.
These methods, and corresponding ways to change formats, are discussed here.
Thanks for responding. I used my iPad for the entire process. In other words I used Paragraph Styles, then selected which Paragraph Styles I wanted in the TOC. Then I chose "Insert Table of Contents" at the bottom of the list as shown in this screenshot. The TOC was generated at the insertion point but looks like the screenshot in my first post...not like the one shown in the screenshot below.
Yes I did try your suggestion. Thanks.
I can change the size of the text, style, etc. but it does not change the basic structure where the page number is placed under the chapter name instead of to the right on the same line.
So is this feature broken in Pages for iOs? Or is it possible there is something about my defaults for page size, orientation, etc. that is causing the TOC to become disjointed?
Have you tried this suggestion from the page I linked above?
