The step to reach the bug.

The index has some problems with the tabulation. I got a document in MSOffice with index and when I tried to edit it in Open and update the index it brokes, the tabs dissapears.
When I try to put manually using the index editor with another tab the "Tab position relative to paragraph style indent" doesn't work.

Sorry for my english.

First, when you load the file the index is

1.<tab><Title><tab><page_number>

That is the desire outcome, but in the index configuration it never has the first tab. That’s why when you update the index the first tab dissapears. So I think the bug would be loading .dot files with index you lose some settings. In this case, you lose the first tab in every level. When I tried to added it manually all broke because you also lose the “align right” from level 3 and above of the second tab (and I didn't notice).

The ideal would be that these settings load automatically and you could update without losing format.

I get the desire outcome making this modifications:

- Adding a tab between E and E# in every level, with tab stop at 0.8, 1.6 and 2.5 cm for the first three levels
- Adding “align right” for the second tab from 3 level to above.

Default TOC in LO is also another issue, there's bug 32360. 
Another bug or two would be that LO "recognizes" TOC structure from DOC and DOCX so that it can be edited further. 
Here we deal with alignment in index / TOC.

There's a general issue and issue with some docs. 
I'll report the general issue separately, but I confirm issue with this DOT. 
Normally if you add another tab stop as it was done here, it will behave normally if you add some Tab stop position (here 1,0cm).

1. Open .DOT to get new document
2. Go to "Table of Contents" on page 3 and right-click Edit Index
3. Go to level 2
4. Between E# and E add "Tab Stop" with "1 cm" position
5. OK
6. Right-click Update Index

Expected: Chapter name Entry is left aligned after 1 cm tab. 
Experienced: Entry is right aligned. 

I kindly ask others to evaluate this bug in the light of general issue Bug 118960.

I reported general LO issue as Bug 118962. 
There I wrote that behavior for MS created documents is slightly different. 
This bug is an example. 
Problem comes from "Tab Stop" with "1 cm" position that's not enough. Increasing solves it.
