Ho do I align both sides of my text in a menu application like this:

Hamburger......................$3.95
Cheeseburger..................$4.95

Not this:
Hamburger......................$3.95
Cheeseburger...................$4.95

I want the prices at the end of the line to be aligned without changing the
left; how is this done? I've been to the FormatTabsTab Stop
positionAlignmentLeader, but I can't figure out how to apply it. Help!

In the same dialog box, the area above leader is where you set the tab's
alignment. In your case you would set it Right. The Stop position should
then be at the right most margin. On an 8.5x11 sheet with 1" right/left
margins, you would use 6.5.
