Default Leaders not consistent in list of figs in word 2007

I have a hanging indent, not first line, by .33. Tried switching to by .2,
and tried putting in (none) for special indent, got slightly diff results
with same problems, just on diff list items. My tab stops are as follows,
..25 dec. with leader; .5, .96, .88, 1.05, and 1.25 left with no leader; 5.63
dec. with leader, and 5.74 right with leader. I set it on either 5.63 or
5.74, but it doesn't make a difference. Leaders still inconsistent. what
does a tab stop do?

First-line indent or a hanging indent? If it's the latter, there will be a
tab stop associated with the indent. I'd guess that the runover line is not
long enough to pass this (or some other) tab stop.

Yes, sort of, they are long captions which run from previous line, I have
a
first line indent and a single tab symbol (right arrow), then the page
number, but no line of peiods (leader?) I appreciate your swift response.

Are the items with no leader very short ones?

news I read post "page No.s for TOC level-1 won't align..." and it was
helpful,
but not quite. I have inconsistent leaders in List of figures when I
insert
Table of figures. Set Leader tab as needed for margin, but out of 9
items
(tables) listed I have three that have no leader, just as Lisa H
described.
I have repeatedly reset the tabs and checked right margin tab but
cannot
get
software to give me leaders on all items in list. Please help.
