Page Numbers in Table of Contents run off the page

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Microsoft Word and am trying to create a Table of
Contents. I'm using Microsoft Word 2007 with all updates.

My issue is that when I create the table of contents, the second level
heading page numbers run off of the page. It's a little hard to explain, and
I've tried searching Google with no luck. I've uploaded a screenshot of the
issue to Flickr. You can see that here:

On the Insert tab of the Ribbon, click on the Table of Contents pull down in
the Table of Contents section of the Ribbon and then on the Insert Table of
Contents item towards the bottom of the dialog and in the Table of Contents
dialog that appears, click on the Modify button and then in the Style dialog
that appears, select the TOC 2 style and then on Modify and in the Modify
Style dialog that appears, click on Format and then Tabs and set a right
aligned tab stop with a dot leader at the required position.
