Don't type the dots by hand. Specify dot leaders when you set the tab
positions.

I am doing a restaurant menu and am having trouble with the dots lining up.
I am using the decimal tab for the prices on the right side and have
repeating periods running between the food item on the left side and the
prices. Example:

Apple Pie Slice.................... 5.95
Cherry Pie Slice................... 5.95
Whold Pie........................... 10.95

In the example above, I am not concerned about the prices not being lined
up
because I am using the decimal tab in my document and the prices are ok.
The
problem I have is the same as above. Where the period ends just before
the
price, they are not aligned vertically. Nothing I do seems to work to get
them to align. HELP.
