Aligning heading numbers in TOC
I have used Word's automatic table of contents system to generate a TOC.
I cannot work out why the numbers do not line up. I have uploaded an image which shows the result. If it helps, the e main heading is based on the following style:- Main heading:- Font color: Custom Color(RGB(55,81,145)), Indent: Left: 0 cm Hanging: 1 cm Tab stops: 7.75 cm, List tab, Outline numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 6.75 cm + Tab after: 7.75 cm + Indent at: 7.75 cm, Style: Show in the Styles gallery, Priority: 8 Based on: Heading 1 Following style: Normal Subheading:- Indent: Left: 0 cm Hanging: 1 cm Tab stops: 1 cm, List tab, Outline numbered + Level: 2 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, … + Start at: 3 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0 cm + Tab after: 1 cm + Indent at: 1 cm, Style: Show in the Styles gallery, Priority: 8 Based on: Heading 2 Following style: Normal |

Could you upload a sample document with the problem. Simply one with the headings and your TOC would do it.

As Charles suggested, a sample document would be helpful.
Note that it may not be possible to reproduce (in the TOC) the exact appearance of a numbered paragraph with a hanging indent, if that is what you are trying to do.

Sample doc now attached.
I want the TOC numbers to align - pref so it goes 1 1.1 2 2.1 3 at the moment it's a mess! |

Note the rulers in your TOC 1 and TOC 2 styles.
Match TOC 1 style indents to those in TOC 2 style. Note, though, that in your chapter 5, your numbering is messed up with you using Heading 2 rather than Heading2num. |
