Default How to autofill a line with periods?

It is not necessary to Clear All, as setting any tab clears all the
automatic tab stops to the left of it.

What you're referring to is a dot leader. To accomplish this:

Format|Tabs
Click on Clear all
Type in the where you want your tab stop to be (right side)
Click Right
Select number 2 which is the dot leader.
OK

Now type your entry in your menu and hit tab and your dot leader should
appear.
