You need a right-aligned tab stop with a period leader at the position where
you want the page numbers; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm.
You could use the built-in TOC styles, modified to look the way you like,
but since Word adds the tab dynamically, you'd still have to set the tab
stop.
