Default table of contents page number won't allign right

How do I keep the document from putting them back?

As has been explained before, this is caused by having a tab stop or hanging
indent just to the right of the short entries. You can either remove the tab
stop (or move the hanging indent) or (if headings in the document are
left-aligned, add a tab character to the end of the short ones and add the
\w switch to the TOC field to preserve the tab characters.

When there is an item in the TOC that is less than 5 characters in length,
the page number won't allign right. It alligns left with the item name.
For
example:
Box5
when what I want is
Box............................................... ............5
which is how the items that are longer than 4 characters are shown.
Any suggestions?
