TOC - removing one dot after an entry (before the dot leader)

Can anyone help me with an issues I'm having with the TOC in InDesign?  I'm working in CS5, but I've had the same issue in CC.
Here's what's happening:
I have a TOC for figures that show up in a document. Each figure has a caption (for example: Figure 1 Triangle.)
Those captions have a paragraph styles assigned to them, and that paragraph style links to the TOC for the figure list.
Do you see the "." at the end of the caption? That dot goes into the TOC entry as well. This looks bad because there is a space between that "." and the dot leader that comes after the entry. I am at wit's end to figure out how to get rid of that space, or get rid of the dot, or something. The client is very adamant about there being a "." at the end of the caption, and there NOT being a dot at the end of the entry in the TOC.
Please help. What should I do??

I knew you would have an idea. That's why I ask you
Here's a screenshot of the TOC as I want it to look:
sorry that it's not in English, but you get the point, right? The first work on the left is "Figure."
I added a forced line break in Figure 3 to make it go onto the next line. That wasn't a good thing to do though, because the break gets overridden when I update the TOC. If I add the line break in the actual Figure 3 caption on page 6, the TOC picks that up. The problem is that I don't want a line break in the actual caption on page 6.
Here's the TOC as it updates:
The figure 3 line takes up too much space and there is no space for the tab leader. And I don't really want to change the tracking in that caption, though I could do that if theres no other way.
Please help

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

  • How can I add dots after text to fill the remaining space in a table cell?

    What is the most efficient way to add dots after text to fill the remaining space in a table cell? I know it is possible using tabs but is this possible using a table?

    You can put a tab inside a table cell using Option+Tab
    Then just set the right-aligned tab stop and the right edge of the table cell and add the leader.

  • I have removed one of my email accounts but the email keeps on appearing in my main account?

    Hi
    I have removed one of my email accounts but the email keeps appearing in my main account? - How can I get rid of this?

    Do you have the removed account forwarded to your other account at the server?
    If the account is not still in Thunderbird there is no way for it to check mail on that account. Even if it did it would not place the messages in a different Inbox.
    Just to be sure when you go to Tools-Account Settings is the old account still in the list?
    Use Tools on the menu bar and not the AppMenu button.
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Then Repair the backup Disk... any change?

  • How can i remove one song from a playlist on the iPod?

    I would like to remove a single song from a playlist.  When i connect to my laptop and click manually mangage music, i don't see an option for deleting a song.  I can click on the song, but delete does not work.  I also tried dragging to the trash, also unsuccessful.

    If you want to delete songs directly from the iPod, it needs to be set to Manually manage music on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  If you are using automatic syncing, you cannot delete songs directly from the iPod; instead, you update (remove songs from) the playlist(s) being synced to the iPod.
    If the iTunes sidebar (left side of iTunes window) is visible, select the iPod under the heading DEVICES.  If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under the iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, you see the list of songs currently on the iPod.  If the iPod is set to Manually manage music, you should be able to delete songs from that list.  Select the song (or set of songs) you want to delete, and press Delete on the keyboard.

  • How do I run a program after login, but before the desktop?

    How would I run a program right after the initial login using gnome/JDE?
    With CDE I could edit the ~/.dtprofile to get the desired effect, but dtprofile is a CDE configuration file.

    There used to be sn automator action that might have gotten the job done. It was on http://automatorworld.com/ but I can't seem to find it now.
    I haven't test this under Lion but there is a system preference pane called "Do Domething When" that should get the jeb done. http://www.azarhi.com/Projects/DSW/
    I have taken the opposite approach. My iTunes library and I have the same problem if it has not been mounted when iTunes launches. I created an Automator app that mounts the music then launches iTunes. Try mounting the drive the launch Automator to create the following workflow.
    1. Connect to server and select the external drive.
    2. Us the Launch Application step to launch iTunes.
    Unmount the external drive and test the workflow. If it works save the workflow as an app and use that to launch iTunes.

  • Where are all the Naysayer's that said no one would receive their phones before the 10th?

    This whole weekend this board has been filled with people saying that no one is getting the phone until the 10th because apple is going to hold them up etc. Now that a lot of peoples phones are out for delivery they are all no where to be found

    I said don't expect it last week.  7th at the earliest, but realistically 9th or 10th.
    no you said
    I don't expect special treatment, and neither should anyone else.. Apple set the date for the iPhone to be there.  Feb 10 and the way Apple works it will be here on the 10th.  This has happened on EVERY release of iPhone no matter which carrier around the world.
    and
     "I am 99% positive no one will get their devices no earlier than the 9th.
    No one throughout the iPhone pre-orders no matter which version has NEVER gotten it no earlier than 1 day from the release date.  All the iPhones will be held at the distribution center regardless if it is UPS or FedEx.
    I have actually seen where a few devices ended up 2-3 days early and was sent back to the distribution center, and was delivered on release day(I have experienced that personally twice, and a few friends in the 48 states).
    Everyone should just relax and expect their phones no earlier than the 9th."

  • I would like to know how to include entries in my TOC that refer to paragraph styles that a before the TOC.

    I would like to know how to include entries in my TOC that refer to paragraph styles listed before the TOC.
    Example:
    page i. Title Page
    page ii. Abstract
    page iii. Table of Contents
    I want the TOC on page iii to include the entries "title page" and "abstract". Is this possible?
    Thank you-

    Can you answer another question?
    How do I change the text for a TOC entry? For example,
    I have selected the title on my first page, for example "Summer Report" and selected a paragraph style for it, and added it in the TOC. Now the TOC will have this entry for "Summer Report" and the associated page. But I want it to say "Title Page" instead. Can I edit this text? In order words, have the TOC point to something with whatever name I want to give it, even though it is not the actual name of the section?

  • 2011 MBP (10.8.4) freezes exactly one hour after reboot

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue identical to this poster insofar as I can tell, but some test results are different for me. Exactly one hour after rebooting or starting the computer, applications become unresponsive, video stops playing, then a little while later sound stops playing, and the cursor becomes a beachball if interacting with an application. Some windows can still be dragged or brought to the front of the screen for a short time. Eventually everything (except sometimes the cursor) is frozen and the machine never recovers from this state (for at least 15 minutes, I haven't let it go longer).
    Most of the time this is accompanied by a CPU use spike and the fans spinning up, but not always. I have trawled through the system logs and disabled lots of LaunchAgents to no avail, so let me just list a few things I've tried and their result.
    Disabling wifi: no change
    Removing RAM one slot at a time: no difference
    Memtest: clean results, froze after 1 hour anyway
    Apple Hardware test: clean result on extended test, progress *sometimes* halts at the end of the third or fourth pass after the "Main Logic Board" test had finished (during message "Testing in progress... Extended testing in progress").
    System console/system.log shows no distinctive output immediately before freeze, unless I'm doing other things like playing audio or using the internet in which case the wifi interface has activity or CoreAudio turns outputs on, but this is different every time it crashes. I did find that GoogleSoftwareUpdate was implicated in one of the console logs, so I disabled and uninstalled that without effect. I recently started using Time Machine on an external drive, so I disabled that and removed the drive I'd selected from Time Machine preferences - no improvement.
    While watching Activity Monitor during one freeze, I saw that cprefsd (root) had spiked to 260% CPU usage, fseventsd (root) to 128%, and several other processes to 100% (UserEventAgent, cprefsd, iTunes Helper, and apsd (root)). Everything else was at 1%.
    Symptomatically, this appears to be a software issue (not an instant crash, elevated CPU usage, regular timed interval), but I've been unable to isolate the cause. I strongly suspect Time Machine is responsible (fseventsd is linked to it) but having disabled it in System Preferences I'm not sure if it should be eliminated. Alternately I believe this may be symptomatic of logic board, memory controller, or graphics card failure, but am at a loss to explain the regular (non-random, non-usage-dependent) occurrence. I performed the syslog test prescribed by Linc Davis in this thread and found only regular shutdown codes, so that also seems to point to software issues.

    This morning I tried leaving the computer on in Safe Boot mode and the freeze occurred on schedule, with the windows becoming unresponsive at 60 minutes in, and the the beachball appearing as soon as I moved the cursor.
    If I can get a full backup sorted (only essential stuff is cloned right now), I'll try a clean install of OS X from the recovery partition to see if it nixes whatever process is at fault. I have an appointment with the Genius Bar tomorrow evening, but if this is really a software problem then I'm not sure how they can help (except to replace it at cost). Are there any other tests or fixes I can try? What's the likely prognosis?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Apple replaced the logic board and the fix and it didn't fix the problem. To their credit, they refunded the repair fee. I ended up tracing the issue to a third-party drive I'd bought from NewEgg, a Crucial M4 SSD, which had a very peculiar firmware bug:
    Correct a condition where an incorrect response to a SMART counter will cause the m4 drive to become unresponsive after 5184 hours of Power-on time. The drive will recover after a power cycle, however, this failure will repeat once per hour after reaching this point.
    I would have probably gotten the update notice had I purchased direct from Crucial (or had it come pre-installed if I'd bought it a month later). If you have a similar issue, check your drive firmware!

  • My songs are duplicated i itunes but if i remove one entry, the other won't play anymore...what do i do?

    After my friend transferred my songs to my new laptop, i have installed itunes. First i had 2 or 3 entries of the same song, because i had a music files (mostly
    mp3), and the 2 entries were from Itunes music files. One entry played, the other wouldn't (exclamation point). As i have  a couple thousand songs, i decided to consolidate into Itunes Media, thinking i could then uninstall Itunes, Reinstall it and delete my Itunes music folder.
    But it probably was the wrong way to go. Now I have an Itunes media folder and an Itunes music folder. If i delete one of them from my computer, itunes says it cannot find the track. But the problem is now it takes twice as much space on my computer and last but not least, almost every song is duplicated in Itunes.
    If I delete one of the two entries, the song won't play (exclamation point again). it's like each file of the song exist in his own file, but cannot play if the other version of the song isn't there.
    So i'm stuck with a duplicated list of songs in Itunes and 30 Go of songs on my laptop...<
    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

    I would guess that if they both point to the same file and you delete one of them, you have deleted the file. Therefore it is no longer there to be played.
    I'm not really sure how you got into this situation.  I'm also not sure if you have multiple copies of the same songs on your drive or just multiple entries in the library. It sounds like you  haven't gotten very far, that you have not yet set up playlists that you would be heartbroken to lose. If you have room on your drive, I might suggest closing iTunes, renaming both of those media folders, then restarting iTunes and creating a brand new library.  I would set iTunes to copy media files to the library when it imports them so that it all gets consolidated. I would add the music folder (which is probably a sub-folder of those other folders) from one of your two existing folders and see what happens. Then I'd add the other.
    As a normal precaution, I highly recommend backing up your two music folders before starting this. 
    When all is done and you are happy, you should be able to delete the older folders.  This is the step that begs for a backup. First, though, I'd change the names of the two older folders again and see if iTunes plays your music. If not, it didn't make a copy and it's still looking in the old folders.  You might want keep them around for a while and only delete them when you need drive space.  I am loathe to delete anything unnecessarily, just in case there is a problem.
    I'm not a Windows user so I can't help with the details on how to do this on a PC.
