I think you've already done it. Go to Format | Tabs and set a right tab at
your right margin (6.0" in a default Blank Document), then check radio
button #2 under leader and OK out. When you press tab at the end of your
text, you should get a line of dots, after which you can type the page
number. But you are making far too much work for yourself. It would appear
that you are creating a table of contents. If you will read
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html, you will learn a much
easier way of doing this. Also, note that by default TOCs usually don't
include the word "Page" in front of the page number.

Hi Suzanne, I just want a page such as:

How To Create Dot
Leader............................................ ..........Page 1
How to Underline Across
Spaces............................................ ..Page 2

Using Word 6.0, I think I used to key in a couple of dots and then hit
Alt/F7 twice. It would carry the dots across the page to the right margin.

Is there a way to do this using Word 2002 SP3?

Lucy

The default formatting for an Index field includes leader dots if you

check
the box for "Right align page numbers." If by "index" you mean "table of
contents," the default formatting for a TOC field also includes period
leaders. If you are creating either a TOC or an index by hand instead of
using Word's built-in features, you are making unnecessary work for
yourself. See the following:

I need the dots to go across the page until it gets to page number.
