Restaurant Menu
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. |

Don't type the dots by hand. Specify dot leaders when you set the tab
positions. "bjimer" wrote in message ... I am doing a restaurant menu and am having trouble with the dots lining up.

And if you want it to look neat, set a separate tab stop for the leaders,
far enough to the left of the prices to comfortably clear the longest one. -- Suzanne S.
