Hello everybody, I am trying to bring center formatting
to a document with form fields of variable length
surrounded by dashes from left to right margins.

For example, it has to center a name field formatted like:

|--------------------<<field>>--------------------|

Where "|" are the margins and the "-" character has to
fill the blank spaces from them to the text form field.
Any ideas? Thank you all in advance.

Set a center tab stop at the center of the line and a right tab stop at the
right margin. Give both tabs a hyphen leader (Format | Tabs). Tab once,
insert your field, tab again, then press Enter.
