Default table of contents, section name indentation

(Word 2002), I have a table of contents with 5 headings. The 5 section
numbers are indented ok. The section names for the first 3 headings are
indented ok but the section names for heading 4, 5 are not indented (the
section names appears right after the section number)
1 section1
1.1 section 1.1
1.2 section 1.2
1.3section 3.1
1.4section 1.4
How do I get spaces (or tabs) in between the section number and the section
name?
Thank you

My guess is that you just need to move the built-in tab stop or hanging
indent to the right to accommodate the longer numbers. See
