Table of Contents/Leaders

Why do the leaders disappear in some entries of my TOC? When I update the
entire table, two entries lose the leaders (dots) before the page numbers?
How do I fix this?

Who knows why it happens, but you can restore them manually. Click in one of
the entries with missing leader, go to Format | Tabs, select the tab stop
that should have the leader, select the period leader, and click OK. Because
TOC styles are by default set to update automatically, making this change in
one entry should update all entries at that level. Repeat as needed for
other levels.

Well, think about it: Which tab do you think is at your right margin, which
is (presumably) 6.5" from the left margin?
