Thanks to Bill and Grant for their comments. I was able to make this work by adding a new tab stop with a leader in the bulleted paragraph format in which the link resides, and by adding a /t tab stop in the x-ref itself. I did not think that tweaking the bulleted paragraph format itself would affect the x-ref, but it did.
It took me a minute to get this right, but it does work nicely. best, Paul -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Bill Swallow" <[email protected]> > Since char formats can be used anywhere in the document, getting a set > distance will be difficult.
