Default Table of Contents Updating and Formatting

I'm using Word 2002 and I'm creating a table of contents from heading styles
and using a dot leader that goes over to the page numbers. My problem is
that I don't want the dot leaders to go right up to the page numbers.
Instead, I want them to stop about a half inch from the page number. An
example would be that I set a dot leader tab at 6.0 for the leaders to stop
and a right align tab at 6.5 for the page number. This requires you to tab
once for the dot leader and then again to get to the page number tab and
type in the page number. This works fine if you were to type the ToC
manually, however, if you Update the ToC it doesn't work. Instead, the page
numbers slide back and line up to the dot leader tab. It's as though it can
only use one tab after the ToC entry and not two.

Does anyone know how I can get this to work. Your help will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
