In Word: How can I fill in spaces with a series of dots: "........."?

Question

I need to make a list with two columns. The first one to list a series of items and the second one with the price.
I want to fill in the space between the columns with little dots "..................".
Is there a special way to have Word do this automatically?

Answer 1

Add a tab leader through Format > Tabs, see http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/id-3535.html for full details.

Answer 2

use Format - Tabs and set a tab with the dotty 'leader' - when you press the tab key it will use ............. instead of just leaving a space.
