Hi
What I want to do is have a tex box and have my heading in the middle with a
line of dots each side eg ..............HEADING............
Is there a way of doing this with out manually adding the dots on each side
of the heading so if I change the size of the box it will be updated with the
heading still in the middle and the same number of dots each side?

Format, tabs, determine the center of your textbox, select dot for the leader,
type the center number, tick the center selection, click set. For the right side
of your title it maybe a little more difficult since getting the tab marker to
the end is impossible.
Type the end number, tick right, tick dot, click set. When you are finished
doing your title, change the alignment to center.

Thanks for that. It is much easier than doing it manually. You would of
thought there would be a tab setting for the right side of a text box.
