Table of Contents Issue

Good evening,
I've been struggling for several hours to insert a table of contents as simply as possible
I. Intro...........1
II. Part 2......2
etc.
My goal is for the points and page numbers to be well aligned and to update correctly on the right pages based on the body text that will be written, meaning that if part IV is on page 25, the table of contents should automatically display "25" next to part IV when updated.
I've looked at the solutions on the Microsoft site; it's a huge hassle, and I don't understand anything..
Anyway, I want something simple and basic :)
P.S.: I have a Mac.
Thank you infinitely!

Hello,
There’s no hassle in creating a table of contents if your document has been properly formatted, with heading styles for the titles.
Just insert the table of contents, and that's it. The page numbers update automatically and the alignment takes care of itself!

It’s pointless to ask me your questions privately. I won’t answer them.

Then I go to "styles..." so to try to fix the problem I attempt to define the titles, subtitles, and body text, and then it appears: "No table of contents entries were found." When I copy/paste my already made table of contents into the box, nothing applies, nothing aligns even if I click "keep destination formatting"...
Is it not possible to write your own table of contents, select it, and then do "table of contents" while choosing the model with the dots?? Is it not possible to do that? It would be so much simpler, when I do it everything I’ve written disappears and it says "no table of contents entries were found..."
I don’t know what to do now!
You need to assign a heading style to each of your titles. For level 1, use the Title 1 style, for level 2, use the Title 2 style, and so on.
Then, if you modify the text, add or delete content, you just need to update the table: for that, click on the table, then press F9.
The table of contents will be automatically built from your titles.

And the title, although I formatted it as "title", does not update according to the page.
What can I do to avoid all of this?
I have formatted the numbers as I., II., etc.
But in the table of contents, it's not aligned; it looks like this:
I. Introduction
II. Internship Location
III. Role of the Person
instead of properly aligning the titles without following the offset caused by the numbers..
How can I fix this?
Thank you very much!
