On FM 8, I can set an m-dash as the leading character for a right tab by inserting it in text and copy-and-pasting it into the Leading character field (or use Lester's character string). If the m-dashes don't connect, it'll be more complicated, but not bad. On the Font tab for the paragraph, set th

Just off the top of my head...I''m not a Frame expert by any means, but would a table work? 2 columns, 2 rows, put your text in the top right-most cell, then straddle the two cells in that column.

Hello, I have a simple question (I think). I Would like to create a visual effect (that will be repeatedly used) where a some text on a line is tabbed to the right margin, and preceded by an unbroken line that sits at the mid-level of the characters in the text. Roughly it would look like this: ?

Try entering  \=  (the "magic sauce" for an en dash in a dialog box) or  \m  (for an em dash) in the custom leader character box.  On screen in FM, it may look as though there are slight gaps (especially at different zoom settings), but make a PDF and they should connect. – Les --- On Wed, 9/
