How do I change a tab to a leader tab in Word 2007?
Sheryl
can find no way to change a tab to a leader tab. Can anyone help please as
this is urgent!
Jay Freedman
On the Home tab, Paragraph group, click the tiny arrow icon at the
right end of the bar that says "Paragraph", which displays the
Paragraph format dialog. At the bottom of the dialog, click the Tab
button to get the same old Tabs dialog.
A shortcut to this dialog is to double-click the tab marker on the
ruler.
In the dialog, select the tabstop to change, click the leader type you
want, and click OK.

Tabs dialog box. Either use the double-click a tab in the ruler method,
press Alt+O+T, or add the Tabs dialog box to your Quick Access Toolbar.
When you use the Paragraph dialog box to access the Tabs dialog box, you'll
encounter a nasty little bug: the current settings in the Paragraph dialog
box are set as the document defaults for the attached template, usually
Normal.dotm.

Tab dialog, but that's just me.
I gather that it's ok to use the Paragraph dialog as long as you don't
click the Tab button?

I think I can remember it because I spent quite a bit of time trying to
figure out why "Style" would appear in my Undo list after clicking the Tabs
button in the dialog box. :-)

Yep, the Paragraph dialog box is fine to use as long as you don't click the
Tabs button.
