Table of Contents

I’m doing my first book, which is a collection of poems. I typed up the table of contents manually in alphabetical order by title of the poems in Word. Then I entered all the corresponding page numbers as decimal tabs flush right. It looks perfect in Word but when I paste the list into Booksmart the tabs don’t hold. The page numbers come right after the title of each poem in the list. Should I try to do a real table of contents in Word? Except that my poems are each a separate document right now. Just using the tab key doesn’t give me any control. I see lots of books with tables of contents so there must be something I’m missing. Many thanks in advance.

Alternatively, use the text feature of your imaging editing program and simply create an image of your desired final ToC, then, load that image into Booksmart.  No formatting issues to deal with.
