Default alignment problem

im making a phone number list and want to use €¦€¦ from the name to the number.
unfortunately, not all the names are the same length so im having trouble
getting the €¦€¦€¦ line to end at the same spot for each number.

example:

Jane Smith€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦ €¦.€¦ 123-4567
John Doe€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€ ¦€¦€¦ 765-4321

Use a dotted leader. Look at the tab settings.

Use a right-aligned tab stop with a period leader for the phone numbers. See
