Hello everyone!
I'm creating this forum because I've been struggling for 3 days with a poorly aligned table of contents. I've searched on dozens of forums about this topic, and I haven't found a solution that works for me. Here's what I get:
I would like all the page numbers to be aligned to the right and all the title labels to be on the left (I'm talking about the third-level headings that are aligned to the right in the image).
I don't want to do too much manual tweaking; I would like it to be automatic...
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello Rémi,
you need to modify the TM2 and TM3 styles according to your request. There are several ways to do this. Here’s one of the simplest:
Manually adjust levels 2 and 3 by first removing the left indent in Format, Paragraph. This may be enough to realign everything.
Otherwise, shift the last tab in the ruler, which should align the page numbers, to the left. For level 3, there might be an extra or misplaced tab, which you should check after removing the paragraph indent.
When you are satisfied with the result, either it will already be automated since TMx styles have an automatic update checked by default, or this new formatting will not be saved.
When in doubt, still in the table of contents, right-click on a level 2 title, “Styles,” “Update hyperlink to match selection.” Do the same for a level 3 title.
