" \hphantom " ! What a promising word for exactly what I needed! Again and again I am surprised how many (strange) commands there exist. Where does \hphantom come frome? Where is it documented? Thank you for your replies! But it could be even better: As I need, finally, a construct like ... \writetolist[Test]{}{{\hphantom{999}}{\hfill}\bf{Nicely centers TOC entry}{\hfill}\it 999} ... I would like to make sure that both manually entered numbers are the same (I don't want to risk a typo!). So I'd like to use something like \def\FakePageNumber{999}, using \FakePageNumber at the beginning and the end of the above line. The following worked ... \expanded{\writetolist[Test]{}{\hfill {\bf Nicely centers TOC entry} \hfill \FakePageNumber}} ... but not in combination with \MySpace or \hphantom anymore: \expanded{\writetolist[Test]{}{???\hfill {\bf Nicely centers TOC entry} \hfill \FakePageNumber}} Could someone please help me over this "expanded/argument/ whateveristheproblem" gap? Thank you very much, Steffen Am 24.10.2006 um 21:31 schrieb Peter Münster:

Or perhaps just:
\starttext Text\hphantom{999}Text \stoptext
?
Cheers, Peter
