Table of authorities numbers are running off the right margin

I set up a table of authorities for a brief. I set the paragraph
indentation on the right margin at .75". However, when I generate the TOA,
the numbers run off the right margin. Is there a way to make sure that the
numbers do not end up further to the right than 1.75" from the right side?

It's not uncommon to have a right indent on TOC/TOA styles so that the
entries wrap short of the page numbers, which remain at the right margin.
What you're attempting is evidently something different. Short of changing
the margins on that page (which would have to be a separate section) before
generating the TOA, you will have to move the right-aligned tab stop in the
TOA style so that it coincides with your right indent.

Thanks - aligning the right-most tab stop at the right rather than the left
corrected the problem - for the most part. I have several case cites that
take up almost the whole line. Instead of moving the page number display to
the next line, Word is simply pushing it past the right margin.
