Just trying out this product. I need to have tab leaders, but can't find out how to achieve this. Can the product do them, or should I stop trying?

Well, several weeks have gone by, with no enlightenment regarding Nisus' ability to do tab leaders. So I'll just delete the trial copy and return to my much-admired MS Word. No hard feelings.

I'm probably daft, but what exactly is a tab leader?

Ryan, tab leader is a character that is repeated between the tabbed text and whatever precedes it, such as the periods in the example below.

tlsterry, I'm sorry no one got back to you quickly. To my knowledge, Nisus Writer Express does not do tab leaders. I'd like to have them, too, but it isn't a make-or-break issue for me. I hope you'll check back to find out when tab leaders are introduced.

Ah, yes. Thanks, Craig, for explaining that. Those would be quite useful, particularly for making Tables of Contents. Come to think of it, there are a few other TOC features that would be nice... but I get dreaming quickly.
