Differences in formatting from Microsoft browser v.s. using Microsoft App

Question

I have created a document with a table of contents in the Microsoft Word app. When the document is opened and displayed on Microsoft Word browser however, the formatting of the table of contents changed compared to the Microsoft Word app version and started to wrap the page numbers in the table of contents. I have adjusted margins, word lengths and formatting of the section the table of contents is referring to, but it still displays as a wrapped number in the table of contents on the Microsoft Word browser. Is there any possibility to have the Word browser version look identical to the Word app?

Answer 1

It isn't unusual for formatting to display incorrectly in Word on the web. Try the reading view for a more accurate representation of the content.
