A leader is a series of dots, dashes or other text that continues from the point of insertion on the same line until a number or other text is inserted flush right.
To insert a leader:
| 1 | Move the cursor to the point where you want to insert a leader. |
| 2 | Press F9 to access the action line |
| 3 | Type LD followed by a space and then the character you want to use as a leader. |
| • | To enter a leader consisting of a line of dots, use the command LD . (LD followed by a space and then a period). |
| • | To enter a leader consisting of a line of dashes, use the command LD - (LD followed by a space and then a hyphen). |
| • | A leader consisting of spaces can be used to separate text that is flush left from text that is flush right on the same line. To insert a leader consisting of spaces, use the command LD followed by two spaces. |
| 4 | Press F10 to insert the leader. |
| 5 | After inserting a leader, the cursor will be flush right. Type in the text that you want to appear at the end of the leader. |
| 6 | If the command is still on the action line, subsequent leaders can be inserted by pressing F10 (steps 2 and 3 can be omitted). |
