Default How to autofill a line with periods?

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.

item on the left margin and the price on the right margin with periods
filling the space in between the two items? Is there a way to set this up
automatically?
