I am trying to add dot or dash leaders on either side of this center-justified text.

I am not sure how to set this up. Thank you for any suggestions.

Make sure the Underline is only applied to the tabs, looks like you have it applied to the entire line. Also, there should only be a single, centered stop in the Tabs dialog. I’ve attached my example

Hi @Charlie329572228uvx , You could do it with offset, dotted Underlines, applied to a centered Tab and a Right Indent Tab (Insert Special Character>Other>Right Indent Tab):

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for this suggestion. I am having trouble getting in to work on my end, perhaps you could take a look and tell me which step I am missing.

    Just wanted to confirm, with this approach, will the dots adjust to the length of the text?

     

    Thanks!
