Aligning page numbers on TOC

[Guest]

I'm trying to align the page numbers on my TOC. At first, the page numbers
was aligning correclty, but when it turned to 2 digits (11, 12, 13...), it's
not aligned anymore. It's one digit off. And I think it'll do the same when
it turns 3 digits. For example, it looks like this:

Section 1 INTRO..............1
1.1 ABC.........2
1.2 ABC.........8
Section 2 BODY...............9
2.1 ABC.........10
2.2 ABC.........11

But I'd like it to look like this:

Section 1 INTRO..............1
1.1 ABC.........2
1.2 ABC.........8
Section 2 BODY...............9
2.1 ABC.......10
2.2 ABC.......11

So the page numbers on section 2.1 and 2.2 will looked aligned. I think
it's a setting, but I cannot figure out where to change the setting. Would
anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you very much!

If you are generating the TOC automatically (see
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html), you'll automatically
get a right-aligned tab stop at the right margin with a period leader. If
you're creating the TOC manually, you need to insert this tab manually
(Format | Tabs).
