Sorry when it printed it did not print on the screen correctly:

instead of looking like this:

Any ideas? I am on a Mac. I have an example below.

It brings up the dialog automatically. RE: steps 1 and 2 above, combine into 1 step: just option-click (Mac, at least) on the New Character Style button. It brings up the dialog automatically.

I’m currently working on many (like 25) different bind-in subscription cards for magazines. I use tabs to set up the address fields that the consumer would fill in. Our proofer noticed that the space between the word (ie: name/address/city/state/zip) and the leader line isn’t consistent. I thought I just had an extra space in there, but after turning on the hiddens, there aren’t any spaces! All of the text is the same size, same tracking, kerning, everything. Any ideas how to make the space between the word and the leader line consistent? I’m going to have to fix all 25 cards and I’d love to have an easy solution. I’m also using Indesign CS2.

I never thought of using gradients on text before, and that effect is very eye catching. Thanks for the tip, and it even works in CS2! Using a gradient on the leader dots is an awesome trick!

Yes, I often feel like an Amond Joy and now I know where to get them. :) Thanks, Pariah, for these eye opening tricks with the tab stops!
