how to flush right with dots one word in a line

[Teleoma]

I am a word perfect user and started recently with word 2007. How can I flush
one word in a line to the right margin and do it with dots to the margin:
! am trying to type this..............................................name

In WP I use the option "flush right with dots"
Thanks and regards

You'll need to set a right-aligned tab with a period leader. For general
principles, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm. In
Word 2007, access the Tabs dialog via Home | Paragraph | Dialog Box Launcher
| Tabs.

Thank you Suzanne, i was alble to create a line with leader to the right
margin.
I must also add the name of a person at the end of the leaderline, in the
margin, that ia problem 2 for me.
This name (textbox?) must be connected (attached in WP) to the alinea,
problem 3.
Can you help me for this also?
Thanks a lot
Regards

version of word 2007)

If you create a right-aligned tab, then you just type the name after
pressing Tab. Or, if the name actually needs to be in the margin, use a
left-aligned tab at the margin instead.

Thank you Suzanne. I learned something useful.

Teleoma, do you not think this is another indication of why WordPerfect is
MUCH more straightforward and easier to use -- especially for those who work
with FORMATTING documents on a daily basis, rather than simply typing words
onto a screen/page?
