You need a right-aligned tab stop with a period leader at the position where
you want the page numbers; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm. You could use the built-in TOC styles, modified to look the way you like, but since Word adds the tab dynamically, you'd still have to set the tab stop. -- Suzanne S.

Mr. Suzanne S. Barnhill is right. You have to use the Right Tab on the ruler
with any leader you wish to seperate the content from the page number. The reason is when you use the Right Tab, page numbers in double digists aligns properly with the single digits.
