"Flush right with dots" function????

Question

Hello all...
I'm creating a table (a street index like in the back of a Thomas Guide). In each cell I want the street name aligned on the left side of the cell followed by a series of dots and then the page aligned to the right side of the cell. It would look like this:
A St...............5145
Anyone know a command or function for this? I know in Word Perfect it is "Flush right with dots"
Thanks!!!

Hi Tim,
The dotted line joining the two is called a Leader, and is part of the definition of the tab stop defining the location of the page number.
In Numbers Tab properties are set in the Text Inspector.
Click on the ruler to set a tab location (in the illustration the new tab is 1/8 inch left of the right margin on this 4 x 6 inch page).
Open the Text Inspector and click on the Tab button.
Select on the tab you want to format in the list at the bottom of the Inspector window.
Click the Right radio button to change it to a Right tab (the symbol on the ruler will reverse to point the direction shown above).
Choose one of the three Leader styles from the pop-up menu.
Then drag the Tab maerer on the ruler 1/8 inch to the right to place it at the right margin.
In the document, enter the street name, press tab, enter the page.
Regards,
Barry
