You can add a right indent to the relevant TOC styles, which will make
the table of contents look better:

Heading text heading text heading text heading text
heading text heading text heading text.......................#

Section headings in legal briefs tend to be long. When creating a
table of
contents using the native heading styles, Word doesn't automatically
break
the lines, and the entries crowd their page numbers. My workaround is
to
manually break the entries, but when I update the contents, the line
breaks revert. Is there a way to get Word to automatically break the
entries or at least to avoid having them revert?
