And, it does not even necessarily take more digits. Sometimes even fatter digits. In many fonts some digits use more space.

Bottom line, adjust the tab settings.



If your TOC n styles have the default setting to update automatically you will be changing the style settings so all entries of that level will have the same setting.

I think you'll find that, unless perhaps you're using some fancy font, numeric characters all take up the same space. Numbers are effectively fixed-width characters.
