    Hey all,

    I'm trying to figure out how to create a line listing. That's what I call it anyway, let me see if I can demonstrate.

    iPod Shuffle …………………………………. $99.99

    iPad …………………………………………… $499.99

    Like that! I can't imagine that catalog designers do this manually with tons of periods. There's gotta be some automated process that makes it super simple.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Leaders are a function of the Tabs panel.

    I know this is an old post, but still… I like to set this up with nested styles in the paragraph style and one character style.

    My text looks like this:
    [text][space][tab][space][$/€][tab][123.45]

    I create a character style (I'll call it “tab” here) that's got a japanese dot underline set up, nothing else.

    The nested style inside my paragraph style then gets set up like this:
    [none] up to 1 tab
    tab (character style) through 1 tab
    [none] up to 1 forced line break
    [repeat]

    The reason I use a tab between the $/€ and numbers is to be able to keep those aligned nicely.
    The spaces around the first tab are just to keep the line from touching the text as I don't like that look very much.
