Can I add a tab with leader between words within a line in Word 20

OfficeChallenges

In Word 2003, I was able to create a two-column spec sheet (in a table) with
a heading for each feature and a specification list after a tab with a
leader, such as
"Configuration............Can be configured via a built-in Web server for"

In Word 2007, I can set up the tab with leader, but I need to press Enter
for the leader to appear. Therefore, the leader only shows at the beginning
of a line.

Is there a way to set up the leader to appear between words within a line
rather than just at the beginning of a line?

If the tab stop is anywhere to the right of the end of the words you typed
at the left margin, just press the Tab key (or, if the paragraph is in a
cell in a real table, press Ctrl+Tab) after those words. The leader will
appear, and then you can type the rest of the text on the line.

You might want to make the tab stop right-aligned and positioned at the
right side of the table cell, but that isn't mandatory.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm for further
information.
