  Word for Windows:

  Can someone tell me how to send leading dots and justify to the right of
  the page using Word for Windows?  In Word Perfect 5.1 I use to be able to
  do this.  It would look like the following:

  Wonderful....................................Place


  A piece of fish!


  When you specify tabs, you can select left, right, decimal, etc.  You can
  also pick a leader which can be ....... ,  ----------, ___________ or
  none.


  And now a Windows query!

  How do I modify a screensaver to use my own choice of character?

  Retrieve the file SSFLYWIN.SCR in write with *NO* conversion.

  Use search and replace to Replace all instances of Flying Windows with any
  *14* characters.  Spaces are okay.  I used Flyin YingYang.

   Must be fourteen characters --->   12345678901234

  This is how the screensaver will appear in your desktop list of savers.

  Press CTRL-HOME to return to top of file.

  FIND the word DISPLAY in all caps through the find feature in write.
  Highlight the character IMMEDIATELY before the word DISPLAY.

  Now open your character map applet from your accessories group with the
  Wingding font active.  Select any character that you want flying through
  your screensaver (I picked the yingyang symbol), doubleclick on it so that
  it appears in the characters to copy window, and then click on copy.
  Minimize character map.

  Restore Write.  Click on edit and then click on paste.  The character
  immediately before DISPLAY should change.  It will not appear in the
  wingding typeface.   Save the document as SSFLYYIN.SCR.  Any name will do
  as long as it starts with SS and has an SCR extension.

  Close write, and open control panel, desktop.  Look at your screensaver
  list, and your new screensaver should appear.  Double click on it then
  click on test to view your new screensaver.
