Hi - hopefully somebody will be able to help with this as I've run out of ideas.
I have a document for an annual report for a charity I'm treasurer in. I created the document from a template I obtained but I've made quite a few tweaks. The original document also had the issue I'm going to describe - so it's not something I've introduced.

Anyway, I have a table of contents and the page numbers for the heading 2 sections are not aligned to the right so stick out ever so slightly to the left. I've tried everything I can think of with tabs and alignment to fix it but I can't and I find it annoying to look at.
I tried recreating the table of contents and even the standard ones show up with this out of alignment.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this? I must admit this is not my strong point in Word so I'd love to understand what is going on. I've tried so many things I've lost track.

I've attached a stripped down version of the report so you can look at it.

many thanks

The formatting of the table of contents is controlled by the styles TOC 1 - TOC 9.

In your document these styles have a variety of tab settings, you need to make them consistent by modifying the tab settings of the styles.

Thanks. I knew it was going to be something to do with this but couldn't quite get it right. I'd tried making the tab values the same, Anyway - I just deleted them all the tabs and it miraculously all went aligned. Thank you.
