Are they right aligned, but simply not at the right edge?

Are you modifying tab settings directly, or are you modifying the TOC 2
style definition? You need to modify the TOC 2 style definition if you want
the setting to survive updating the TOC field.

I'm not understanding you, Suzanne. I've got 1 inch left and right
margins, a left aligned tab with a dotted leader set for 6.2 inches, and I
set a right aligned tab with no leader at 6.48 inches. I then did an
update .. entire table, but the numbers still don't line up against the
right edge. I tried using the ruler and moved my tabs back and forth, but
I still can't get them to dance for me.

You probably just need to reinsert the right-aligned tab stop at the
right
margin in the TOC 2 styles. When the TOC field "forgets" what it's doing
wrt
numbering for some levels, this tab stop (which is generated dynamically)
also gets lost. If you're using the default 1.25" left and right margins
(does anyone ever?), the tab stop would be at 6" (though Word puts it at
5.99"); you'll need to adjust for your actual margins--look at the ruler
for
guidance (and that's the easiest way to set the stop, too).

Okay - after reading through some stuff on the Word FAQ site, Shauna
Kelly's
site, and Suzanne Barnhill's site, I've got most of this resolved. I
edited
my heading styles, reapplied the styles, and edited the field code to
take
out numbering for Heading 1. (If anyone is just throwing out questions
here
and not reading these articles, you are missing great wealth!)

I am currently left with only one major nagging issue (others will crop
up,
I'm sure!): my page numbers don't align on the right side. That is, I
would like the right edges of my one-digit numbers to match the right
edges
of my two-digit page numbers. I have "Right Align Numbers" checked, and
even modified the TOC style as "Justified". Nothing seems to work,
though.
Any suggestions?

I have inherited a document with a TOC field. Every time I choose to
update the entire field, though, it goes haywire! I hope someone can
help.

I have two styles used - Heading 1 and Heading 2. I believe they are
both
resident in the document, and not necessarily the same as those styles
in
my Normal template. At the moment, Heading 1 styles are formatted in
the
TOC as bold, underlined, and no page number. Heading 2 styles are not
bold or underlined, and have a dotted tab leader to a right-aligned
page
number. This is good and I want to keep it. The current field code is
{TOC \O "1-2" \Z}.

When I try to update the entire table, the Heading 1 styles are bold
and
underlined, but have a page number, and the underline extends to the
number. The Heading 2 styles lose the dotted tab leader. Also, the
tab
setting is changed to stop at mid-page. I've tried changing the TOC
style
when I update, but it keeps getting worse!

It's probably time to start from scratch! What settings am I looking
for
when I make this?
