You can't. PPT doesn't have tab leaders. You'll need to draw lines manually.
Or you might be able to copy/paste from Word. Worth a try, probably.

I have an idea for tabs in a PPT pres using VBA. It is not good form to
post attachments to the news group, and you need the whole file and the code
to see how it is done. I'll ask David Markovitch to add it to his site so
you can download it from there.

Great. Send it over to (e-mail address removed) (without the NOSPAM). Just
remember if you have to send it as a ZIP file, change the extension to
..zp (instead of .zip) to fool my college's SPAM blocker.

PowerPoint doesn't do leadered tabs, unfortunately.

Assuming this is a table of contents or similarly structured bit of info, try
creating it in Word and copy/pasting into PPT.

I see now that I have totally misunderstood what you want! However my idea,
which is totally different and useless to you, is on its way to David M!

WW's excellent (and useless to the orignal poster) example will be on my
site tomorrow (my site does an overnight dump from the development server
to the main server, so what I put up today appears tomorrow). Go to:

http://www.loyola.edu/education/PowerfulPowerPoint/

Click on "Examples From Real People." The example is about halfway down
the page and is titled "Tabbed Browsing."

As for tab leaders, PowerPoint doesn't quite work like Word, and that is
unfortunate when we want to do Word-like things in PowerPoint.
