Overlapping part numbering in table of contents

Question

I'm having a few problems with my 'Table of Contents' as it the numbering interferes with the chapter and part labels.

I've added a screenshot of the problem here.

I would prefer to keep the roman numbering.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{memoir} . . \begin{document} . . \end{document}

this seems to cover the same territory: Roman numerals become “too wide” in table of contents — barbara beeton, Jun 02 '15 at 21:02
@barbarabeeton - The "twist" in this posting is that the OP is using the memoir document class, which provides its own macros for modifying and customizing the look of the ToC. — Mico, Jun 02 '15 at 21:04

Since you're using the memoir document class, you could issue the command

\setlength\cftpartnumwidth{3em}

in the preamble. This instruction increases the width of the block that's set aside for the part-level Roman numerals in the ToC. For a consistent appearance, you should probably also provide the instructions

\setlength\cftchapternumwidth{3em}
\setlength\cftsectionindent{3em}

in the preamble.
