Default How to get TOC to update properly?

I've got a huge document I'm working with that has a TOC for multiple levels:

Chapter 1 XXX ...................1
1.1 XXX .....................4
1.1.1 XXX ............7

I moved a section from one area to another within the document. Then did
the "update entire table" in TOC. Now my table of contents looks like this
1.1 XXX
1.2 XXX
1.3 XXX
2.1 XXX
2.2 XXX
2.3 XXX
Plus the dots and page numbers are missing completely.
HELP!

Delete the table of contents and insert a new one.

Well, you can't "move" a "section" of a TOC because it's a single field. I'm
not really sure why you're getting anything if this is really what you did.
But right-click on the TOC and choose Edit Field, then reselect "Show page
numbers" and "Right align page numbers" and select the desired tab leader.
