FrameMaker cannot look at the first line and use a varying indent
depending on what it finds there. You have to define tabs and
left indents. Define a tab stop where you want the heading text
to start after the numbering and use that as a left indent for
the remaining lines. This could actually improve the layout of
your TOC by using the same indents throughout your index.
