Um, Terry, the whole idea of paragraph formatting is that it applies to the
whole paragraph. So if you set a tab in a paragraph, it's good for the whole
thing.

You learn something new everyday! I've tried this and it does work as
described. I always thought that the tab settings wouldn't repeat for
successive lines, so I have always used paragraph breaks on these
occasions.

I agree with Suzanne. I have done this MANY times using a manual line
break and it worked flawlessly. This is a 32 page newsletter and I've
used
this method several times in this same issue, once for five pages. But,
it
certainly did not work this one instance. On the printed page three of
the
lines have normal leader dots at the bottom of the line. On five of the
lines, the leader dots are much lighter and appear about 3/4 the way up
on
the capital letters that I am using.

Each line needs to be ended in Paragraph mark and not a line break.
I don't see what that would have to do with it; there's no reason you
can't
create this format in a single paragraph (in fact, I have just done so
in
a
document I'm working on, and it worked fine), and if it's a single
paragraph, then the tab leader should be consistent for every line (not
periods on some lines and hyphens on others).

Each line needs to be ended in Paragraph mark and not a line break. So
enter
a committee position, TAB and committee name (or vice versa), Enter,
each
on
a separate line. You should now have 8 paragraph all on separate
lines.
Then
select all the lines and use Format, Tabs to set the Tab Leader left
aligned
to the point where you want the alignment.

I had about eight names and eight committee positions to list on
successive
lines in a Word document. I used the manual line break after each
one
so
that I would have only one paragraph format, if that makes any sense.
I
selected the leader with the lower row of dots. Half of the names
tabbed
to the committee position with the midlevel dots and half with the
lower
level dots. If I went back to the tab set function and used no
leader
all
the dots disappeared so I know it was one paragraph. What gives? I
put
in
a footnote saying that I didn't know the cause or they would have
thought
me careless.
