Thumbs up Answer: Table of Contents not aligned

Hi there! I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

It sounds like the problem you're experiencing is due to the formatting of your headings. Here are some steps you can take to fix the alignment of your Table of Contents:
  1. Select the entire Table of Contents by clicking anywhere within it.
  2. Right-click and select "Update Field" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the "Update Table of Contents" dialog box, make sure that "Update page numbers only" is selected.
  4. Click "OK" to update the Table of Contents.

If this doesn't fix the issue, you may need to adjust the formatting of your headings. Here's how:
  1. Go to the first Heading 4 in your document.
  2. Right-click on the text and select "Paragraph" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the "Paragraph" dialog box, click on the "Tabs" button at the bottom.
  4. In the "Tab stop position" field, enter the position where you want the page number to align (e.g. 6.5").
  5. In the "Alignment" field, select "Right."
  6. Click "Set" and then "OK" to close the dialog box.
  7. Repeat these steps for all other Heading 4s in your document.

Once you've adjusted the formatting of your headings, update the Table of Contents again using the steps above. This should align all of the page numbers on the right side.
