Making hyphens end to the margin

[afi]

I need to make hyphens after the end of the text in the
same sentence continue on to the end of the margin but
not go on to the next sentence. I have searched the help
menu and the website but have not been able to find any
answers. I believe this is a very simple command.
Please help.

You can do this by setting a right-tab at your right margin and setting a
tab leader of hyphens.

Format => Tabs

To remain within the same paragraph after this, press Shift-Enter to insert
a manual line break. To create a new paragraph, press the Enter key.

You need to set a right tab with a leader. You can do all this in the Format
| Tabs menu. See here for more info on tabs in general, if the Tabs dialog
doesn't make sense to you:
