In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Chad Chelius demos how to create custom dot leaders to use with tabs in InDesign. He sets up a stroke to use as an underline and—through the power of styles—is able to apply and refine the look of the tab leaders easily.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
