Suggestions for changing tab with underline leader

Explorer ,
Feb 25, 2015 Feb 25, 2015

I frequently create forms where I'll use a tab with the underline for the leader, e.g., Name_________________  Age___________, etc.

I like the line to be thinner than the text, say the text is 10pt I'll change the line to 8pt. I can do a Find/Change to change the Tab character to a smaller size, but that changes every tab whether it has a leader or not. I can't find a way to "Find every tab with a leader that's the underline and reduce the point size".

Any suggestions appreciated.

Geoff

Think, they changed the library with CS6. Since then we have also \v and \h. Sadly, no one at Adobe is able to spread the word about such great news.

@jongware: Thanks for \R. Did not know that .

@Kai – Maybe the developer team working at the GREP features did no documentation on this and were working in China* when InDesign was ported to 64bit? So, nobody at Adobe would know about \v \h \K and \R when going through the available information?

*See the following blog post; could well mean a rupture in development and documentation of (some) features:

The help page about GREP search with meta characters should be updated:
