Left and right justifaction with leaders on one line
I want to set up a page with text justified on the left then dot leaders
filling the space before text justified on the right. But, I can't seem to do anything except have all the right-justified text start at the same tab stop. (Table of Contents-style) Is there a way to do this? I used to do it in wordperfect! ex) text here here here...........................text here and here text here.............................................. ....text here too |

Use a right tab rather than a left one for the tab setting on the right?

I've tried that - but it won't allow the first part of the line to stay flush
left before the leaders. Any other thoughts? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Set a right-aligned tab with a period leader. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm -- Suzanne S.

Are you typing the text you want on the left, then pressing Tab, then typing
the text you want on the right? -- Suzanne S.
