Using Dot Leaders with Tabs
I want to design a document that will have dot leaders for only some of the
tabs. For example, this is what I want 8:00 am Welcome & Introductions .................................John Smith Xerox 9:00 am Overview .................................................. ..... Mary Johnson Xerox I only want the dot leaders to go from Welcome & Introductions to John Smith but I don't want dot leaders next to Xerox. The same for the next line Overview. If I set the tabs everytime I press the tab key to go to that location I get dot leaders. Would I have to not put the dot leaders on and just add them manually to the tabs I want to have dot leaders. Thanks very much for any help. |

Using Dot Leaders with Tabs
Easiest:
Do all your typing first. Then format your first dot-leader item. Then use the format painter and apply it to all the others you want to have dot-leaders. Please don't underestimate the power of the format painter. See: http://www.officearticles.com/misc/f...oft_office.htm ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Dee" wrote in message ...
