Do it via the Modify Style dialog box
(http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...fyAStyle.html), carefully making
sure to delete any unnecessary tab stops. Note that if your headings are
outline-numbered, and numbers are followed by a tab character, you'll need
two tab stops: one for the tab character and one for the page number at the
right margin (and, of course, only the latter should have a tab leader).

If the above doesn't work, what does your TOC field code look like?

Well, I actually tried that. It always reverts back to what it was... very
frustrating! What's the deal?

You can recreate the right-aligned tab stop and its leader in the

TOC style.

Thanks, Stefan!

I think both of these fixes worked, but both changes made my '......'
go
away. (An unexpected/undesired result!) I will now try to make them
come
back...

If you are trying to add more levels of headings to an existing table
of
contents, it will be easier to edit the field code directly. Press
Alt+F9
to
show field codes; you'll see something like this: { TOC \o "1-3" \h }.
Replace 3 with 5. Press Alt+F9 to hide the field code. Then press F9
to
update the table of contents.

On the other hand, if you are trying to change the defaults for TOCs
in
Word, then you are out of luck. Each time you visit the Index and
Tables
dialog box, you are presented with the factory defaults.

I'm using Word 2003, and I set the # of levels to 5, but after I get
out
(and
it asks if I want to re-format, implying it noticed there was a
change), I
go
back in again, and it still says '3'!
