I am getting a "phantom" tab in Level 3 Headings in the Table of Contents
(TOC 3). The tab appears at 2.1", and does not appear when you click on
>modify>format>tabs, but does appear on the line when the Table of Contents
is generated. If you delete the tab manually, by clicking and dragging on
it, it disappears, only to be regenerated when you regenerate the Table of
Contents.

The link may answer the question, but I'm not sure I have the knowledge of
VBA to implement it. Doesn't Microsoft know about it? And if so, why has it
persisted into Word 2003, all the way from Word 97?

I think it may be one of those bugs that can't be fixed without breaking a
lot of other stuff.
