Does 2.5 have a way to insert Tabs with character fills like:

Blah ..................<tab>....................Blah

We don't have this yet, sorry.

Is it expected in 3.0 perhaps?

Actually it is. I can't promise for sure, but it's pretty high on our list.

That's nice to hear. I don't need it often, but I do need it sometimes. I just put it to use yesterday in InDesign.

I hope we'll have a choice of leading characters and the ability to use a combination of leading characters, including spaces, so that we can control whether the leaders look like
............................................. 1

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1
or whatever.

Yeah, when we add this we will allow any character to be used. I'd also like to see the option of using any of the line drawing styles currently available for table borders.
