Hi all.

 

When customizing a Table of content, does anyone know how to set a fixed text column width/ fixed gap between the text and number that avoids any text reaching the numbers (I would like to be as shown in the second image) Many thanks!!

It's an obscure feature that most people will never need, but for those of us who do, it's a game-changer!
