I have a quite urgent topic as the deadline for my thesis is approaching and I am struggling with this issue the whole day.

The page numbers are not aligned properly for part of the table of context - more specifically for the part where I include appendices. Pls refer to the pic to get an idea what I mean. The alignment should be like for pp. 70, VII and IX.

I would have loved to create an example, but I am running out of time since I need to be done by tomorrow.

Thanks for your help in advance. Martin

Edit:

  • Without an example there is only guessing to be done... –  Jun 07 '17 at 17:22

    Welcome to TeX SX! Could you at least post your preamble? It's almost impossible to understand what's happening only from an image. – Bernard Jun 07 '17 at 17:22
  • Hi and thanks for the quick reply. I edited the post and added the segment where I call the appendix file. – mrgambling Jun 07 '17 at 17:38

    The posted code does not give any clue -- what's in the various files you use with \input? Which documentclass are you using, which packages? –  Jun 07 '17 at 17:45

  • Many thanks to all of you, but this issue has been resolved with the below comment. – mrgambling Jun 07 '17 at 19:24

You have to increase \@pnumwidthwhich is too small to accommodate the longer Roman numerals.

\documentclass{article}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@pnumwidth}{2em}% 1.55em
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\setcounter{page}{70}

\subsection{First}

stuff

\pagebreak

\pagenumbering{Roman}
\setcounter{page}{8}

\subsection{Appendix 1}

stuff

\pagebreak

\setcounter{page}{12}

\subsection{Appendix 2}

stuff

\end{document}
