Default Table of Contents

I have several titles in my TOC that carry over to a second line. What I
would like to do is indent the second line only. I have tried a couple of
things but it moves both lines not just the second one. I appreciate any
help, suggestions.

You need to apply a hanging indent to the TOC style at that level (most
easily done using the ruler). You probably also want a right indent so that
the title will not overrun the page numbers. For more on these subjects, see
