Default Page number alignment problem in table of contents

Sounds like your TOC 3 style has an extra tab set at around 1.25" or
1.5" that you don't need. Delete the extra tab from the TOC 3 style.
See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html or press
the F1 key for more information.

Hello,

I have a table of contents that contains the following entries:

1.1 Site 1...........
1.1.1 Methods..........
1.1.2 Results..............
1.1.3 Discussion............

2.1 Site 2.............
2.1.1 Methods..........
2.1.2 Results..............
2.1.3 Discussion............ etc

Most of the page numbers are aligned on the right hand side of the page,
acting like a good page number should. However, for every 'Results' section
the page numbers are all sitting right at the end of the word. I can fix this
by manually dragging the tabs to the correct place, but when I update the
table they go wrong again. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

Thanks,

Jay
