What are the dots called in creating an index leading to a page #

[Deb]

I am trying to create an index and I don't know how to put the dots from the
topic to the page number. I don't think you are supposed to use periods.
Any suggestions?

I'd suggest you ask this question in a Word newsgroup. This group is for a
different program, Microsoft Access. I think they're called "leader tabs" but
that's a vague old memory; the Word folks will be able to help.

Scroll down the list of subject areas and find one for Word. Specify your
version of the program when you post.
