I'm using Office Word 2003 sp3. In my inserted table of contents not all the
page numbers line up on the right side.

what I have:
Heading 1..............4
Heading 2..........4
Heading 3..........5
Heading 1..............6

what I want:
Heading 1..............4
Heading 2............4
Heading 3..........5
Heading 1..............6

How can I get the page numbers for Heading 2 to line up with Heading 1 and 3?

ToC are styles, so Heading 1 uses TOC 1 style, Heading 2 TOC 2 style and so
on. You need to check the formatting of the style, particular the
right-aligned tab stop which should all be the same.

An easy solution is to select an instance of a particular misaligned TOC
(say just a level 3 TOC), and drag the tab marker in the ruler to align with
the others. Then whilst still with the TOC 3 selected, right-click TOC 3 in
the style list on the Home ribbon and choose 'Update TOC 3 to match
selection' from the context menu. Now all the TOC 3s will realign.

Since TOC styles are set to update automatically, it will suffice to change
the tab stop in a single entry at any given level.

That's true but I always turn the Automatic Update off: I'm a control freak!

TOC styles are one case where I leave it enabled. One thing I've noticed,
though, is that paragraph formatting is propagated, but changes in font
formatting don't seem to be picked up, so for that I do have to go to Modify
Style.
