In Microsoft Word I can choose between dots ..., dashes --- and a line for the tab leader in the table of contents menu. But I want to increase the dots' distance, for example with some spaces between them like . . .. How can I do this in Word?

You can achieve this but if you regenerate the TOC you will need to do these steps again:
You can select the tab spaces and using Format -> Font -> Advanced, you can select "Expanded" from the "Spacing" dropdown and then enter the number of points by which you want to increase the spacing between the dots.

Thanks, but it affects the headings too. – Dante – 2014-12-29T15:11:58.890
Make sure you only highlight the leader dots, see my animation above for a demonstration. – Adam – 2014-12-31T00:39:01.883
It works but there are many headings and subheadings and I need to regenerate the TOC frequently to review my work! Your answer is useful, anyway :) – Dante – 2014-12-31T04:57:45.990
Thanks, there's not any other way I can think of to achieve this but I would be very interested to find out if there is. – Adam – 2014-12-31T13:13:24.573
