I'm most of the way into my 4th novel (75K-85K words each) on Google Docs and the only "lag" difficulty I experience comes when I take a break and find it autosaved and makes me find the spot I was editing.

I did exactly what you're saying, but my TOC "dotted line" runs past the page margin and puts the page number of every chapter underneath the chapter title. (*I also have a chapter numeral above the chapter title for every chapter. I put the numeral and title both on the 'chapter title' style - don't know if this is a problem?). Any suggestions? I would gladly pay someone to do this! I finished writing the book long ago, but the formatting issues are bogging me down. Maybe it's my dated computer and Word 10 that is the problem...
