Hello Bashar,

One possible way is to insert in the entry structure a tab (T) between E# and E.
Just edit the index/table then in the Entries page place the mouse in
the white space between the E# and E and press Tab Stop.

Now, inserting a tab stop value which is wider than the deepest level
in your structure (1 - 1.5 cm) does the trick, however the ToC does
not look very nice since this creates too much space between the level
1 numbering and the level 1 entry. If you set the tab to be smaller
than the width of the numbering the ToC goes all over the place.

If you want to do a "proper" job, then you will have to set the tab
stop on each level individually while modifying at the same time the
indent value for the Contents X paragraph style (assuming you are
using the default para styles in your ToC).
It is a bit of a pain, but the results are much nicer.

A simpler fix is to insert some spaces in the entry structure between E# and E.
Again, just edit the index/table then in the Entries page place the
mouse in the white space between E# and E and press the spacebar a
couple of times.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Michele :-D
