I am making a cast list for a program.
how do I automatically add the proper number of periods between the
character name and the actor's name so that each line is justified to the
margins of the column?
BOB....................Tom James
ANDREW.....Wilbert Harrison

It's called a dotted leader. Look under the tab settings.

thanks, that is exactly it
after 5 minutes of experimenting, I got it to do what I want.
My wife and I were opera singers, and I create 5-7 concert/recital programs
a year for her voice students. This will help tremendously.
Thanks again

Thanks for the help.
This is my first time to ask a question on a forum, and it was a very good
experience. Thanks to MVPs JoAnn and Suzanne, and Microsoft for hosting.
I'll be back.
Thanks again
Dad Dave
