Generally, you’ll want to use the format “from template,” meaning that the formatting of the category heading and citation styles are inherited from the fonts being used in the brief’s template. You can also choose a dashed line, a solid line, or no leader at all. For example, this citation has a dot leader (the default): This is the string of characters that separates the end of each citation from its page numbers. If, for example, your case names are italicized within the body of the brief, checking this box will carry that same character formatting into the TOA. Not every court allows it, so check your local rules or call the court clerk. See that checkbox just below the Print Preview called “Use passim”? If any of your cases are cited five or more times in your brief (which might make for an awkward-looking TOA), Word will insert “passim” for the second and subsequent citations to save room. You’ll get the Table of Authorities dialog box: Place your cursor at the point in your document where you want the TOA to begin (usually just under the heading “Table of Authorities”), go to the References tab, and click the Insert Table of Authorities button in the upper right-hand corner:
