If you're using the default toc styles, that's the problem.  There is
a right tab at the end, but 1/4" before it (at 5-3/4") is a left tab,
which generates the dots and aligns the numbers.  Note that between
the title (chapter 1, etc.) and the number is a single tab.

If you change the left tab at 5-3/4" to a right tab with the same
leader characters, things should work like you want them to.  I'm
looking at the table of contents for a manual I did in Word right
now, and the numbers are all right justified, so I know it works!
