I want to translate the table of contents in MS word Document

I'd note that if the word document was properly prepared you should never have to translate the Table of Contents.  This should happen automatically when you refresh the target language document.

However, we all know many people don't know how to use Word properly in the first place so it happens, and sometimes people create a fairly complex contents page like this one where I'm not even sure it can be automated.  So when this happens you can solve the problem by creating custom segmentation rules to suit the content.  So in this case you probably want to break before a tab followed by a number.  Simple to do like this:

Resulting in this:

Further improved by then filtering out the number only segments:

Thank you Paul, it works for Numbers preceded By Tab
the other rule would be for Numbers preceded by Spaces
breaker:

/s
or
/s/s


is that right?

That would be one space.  I guess you probably have several and need to at least try to prevent segmentation where you don't want want it?  I imagine your document could be full of numbers preceded by one space?

for spaces:
I tried this rule, but it is not working
!!!!

that should be too much tricky - of course it will be possible

If I was you, just let it go. I mean use "default" segmentation settings, never mind minor matching percentage.

Try one rule for tab and spaces, like this:

.(\t|\s{2,})

\d

This rule looks for at least two spaces between the text and a number OR a tab.

Thank you Dear Paul for support.
Have a nice day.
