I have a list of Maps and Illus. in my new book. Have placed box in print
layout view. From each Figure # I have dots to page numbers. Can't line up
page numbers properly.

What you need to work with in setting this up is Tabs. See this article on
setting tabs: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm

In your case, you will want to set up a Left tab for the page numbers. Once
you have set your tab, instead of manually entering your dots (which is what
it sounds like you are doing), set up a tab leader via Format Tabs and
select the type of leader you want.

As SVC has indicated, you need a right-aligned tab with a period leader, but
you don't need to create this list manually. If you have used the Caption
style for figure captions (or any other specific style) or have used Insert
| Caption to insert them, you can easily create a Table of Figures using
Insert | Reference | Index and Tables. See
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html for the general
principles of TOCs, which are not very different.
