Leaders Across Table Cells
I am confused by these instructions I received...
Key the following information into a two-column table. Use a left tab for the first column and a right tab for the second column. Use leaders between the columns. How do I do this? I select the table and then I manually set tabs on both ends of the table. I then go to Format--Tabs and set the leaders and it doesn't do anything. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks |

Leaders Across Table Cells
Tabs and leaders generally have no place in a table. Why not just do it in
the document itself? See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/N....htm#RightTabs -- Suzanne S.

Leaders Across Table Cells
Could the word 'table' be a description of how the document should look
rather than an instruction to use the table command? What you are trying to prepare sounds a bit like a programme such as you would use to display actors and the parts they play or a table of contents with page numbers. There is no need for the first tab (unless the first column has to be indented from the margin), but if you set a right tab where you want the right column to align and set it to have leaders you should achieve the display required without using tables. Hope this helps. Is this an instruction from an exam question? If so, which exam? -- Rae Drysdale " wrote: I am confused by these instructions I received...
