Default lead in dots in document - what are they called?

I am typing a doument like this:

Laura v. Frank
.................................................. .................. 25

What exactly do you call these dots? - so I can see exactly what to search
for in Microsoft help. I am assuming these can be automatically inserted so
that they all line up and the numbers line up at the end. Thank you.

They're called "leaders", and you set them in the Format Tabs dialog,
where you set tab stops.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...ettingTabs.htm for more help.
