Thumbs up Text Wrapping

Is there a way to get text to automatically wrap at a point other than the right margin? I am doing a table of contents, and I need text to not overlap the page numbers. As an example:

2.3 Vertical view of an installed 18.9 liter pitfall with lid and flashing


above......................................................................................... .............. 1

Some of my titles are multiple lines and trying to manually keep any text from overlapping the page number has proved to be almost impossible.

Any help is much appreciated!

Default

The formatting of TOC entries are controlled by the TOC styles (TOC 1 for level 1, TOC 2 for level 2, etc.). These are set to automatically update, by default, so dragging the indent indicator on the horizontal ruler (with the insertion point in the relevant TOC entry) should suffice; the new setting will be added to the style.
