such a silly question, i am sure :) but...

I am trying to do a program, and need "..." (is that ellipsis? i forget) between the titles and names.
ex: President..........John Doe

and I know you can set this up so it automatically fills in the dots when you hit the tab, so it is still correctly "right justified" and there are "..."s filling up the proper amount of space. Does that make sense? Anyone know what silly little trick could help me? Thanks bunches in advance...
 
What you are looking for is called a "dot leader".

Select your type & then "Style" "Tabs" and insert a right tab at the end of the line. Then in the "Fill Character" box, type in either a single period or a period and a wordspace depending on how far apart you want the dots to appear.
