Word Perfect commands

G

Guest

Word perfect has a command to enter dots across the page followed by a
word/numeral, very useful for lists.
EG
Item#1.......................................................................................Discounted price
Item#2.................................................................................................sale price
etc, without having to fiddle with the justification at the end of the line.
I think it was called dot leaders.
How can I do ths in Word?

Set a right-aligned tab at the location where you want the right-aligned
text (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm). The easiest
way to set the tab itself is with the ruler (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm). Then (in Word 2003
and earlier) go to Format | Tabs, select the tab you just set, click on the
period leader (option 2), and click OK. To insert the period leader between
Item #1 and the price, press Tab.

For a summary of all this, see
