Theresa,

Any changes you make on the body pages of a TOC (such as format 
overrides, inserting a tab character, or editing any text) are lost upon 
updating.

Make sure that you implement these changes on the Reference page for the 
TOC, not on the body pages, and insert one or more tab characters before 
the <$pagenum> block where you want the leader dots.  Save, Update Book, 
and you should be fine.  I recommend that you put two or three tab 
characters on the ref. page entries instead of just one per tag.  The 
extra tab characters have no visible effect on the reference page, but 
if a TOC entry happens to to a second or third line, the additional tab 
characters will ensure the proper tabbing and leader dots.

HTH,
