How to Insert a Tab Dot Leader Feature in Word 2007
1. Click the position on the horizontal ruler of Word 2007 where you want your dot tab leader to end.
2. Type any text you want to appear prior to the dot tab leader, hit the 'Tab' button on your keyboard, and type any text you want to appear after the dot tab leader.
3. Highlight the line you just typed by clicking and dragging your mouse over it. If you only set a tab and your formatting doesn't require text, you still need to highlight the line in order to set the dot tab leader.
4. Click the 'Page Layout' tab on the Word 2007 ribbon, and then click the square on the right of the grey 'Paragraph' button to launch its dialog box.
5. Click 'Tabs...' at the bottom of the 'Paragraph' dialog box to launch the 'Tabs' dialog box.
6. Select '2 ........' under 'Leader' options in the 'Tabs' dialog box, and then click 'OK.' A dot leader appears according to the Tab position(s) you set.
