  {
      // Check if this paragraph is formatted using the TOC result based styles. This is any style between TOC and TOC9.
      if (para.getParagraphFormat().getStyle().getStyleIdentifier() >= StyleIdentifier.TOC_1 && para.getParagraphFormat().getStyle().getStyleIdentifier() <= StyleIdentifier.TOC_9)
      {
          // Get the first tab used in this paragraph, this should be the tab used to align the page numbers.
          TabStop tab = para.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().get(0);
          // Remove the old tab from the collection.
          para.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().removeByPosition(tab.getPosition());
          // Insert a new tab using the same properties but at a modified position.
          // We could also change the separators used (dots) by passing a different Leader type
          para.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().add(tab.getPosition() - 50, tab.getAlignment(), tab.getLeader());
      }
  }
