moonliner Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Will there be an option to add leader dots or dashes before tabs? For example in Table of Contents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 That capability is already provided. Insert your ToC. Then, in the Text Styles panel, look for style TOC 1: Heading 1 and edit it. In the Tab Stops section, click on the tab stop leader field (circled in red below) and choose the leader you want, or for more choices click on the "..." icon.

moonliner Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thanks Walt! Odd that it's buried in the TOC style rather than accessible through tab settings but this will work for my TOC. I will figure out how to do it for non-TOC use from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 You can set it in the Tab Stops area of the Paragraph panel. Find the tab stop in the list and select a leader using the rightmost popup menu on that line. If you want something other than the "normal" ones, set it to "Tab stop leader character" and click the "..." between that popup and the circled "X". In the resulting popup change the field labeled "Character". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 For uses other than TOCs, it would be in the tab stops section of the paragraph style that you're using, or directly in the Paragraph panel (click on the icon marked below to open the full details for the tab stop (or to create a new one): Or, if using Text Rulers, you can right-click in the ruler to set a tab stop, then set the leader characteristics there: kagosage 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
