dot leaders in a table

[MHB]

I have a Word questionnaire in table format because there are columns with
boxes to check. My supervisor suggested I have rows of dots to each column
so the person doing the question can follow the dotted line to the box to
check. I can't quite figure out how to this. I can do the first column but
not the following columns. I'm using Word 2003.

You should use the Convert Table to Text facility to convert your table to
Text with the tabs as the separator and then format the tab stop for the
checkboxes so that it has a dot leader.

You can certainly set a right-aligned tab with a period leader and insert a
tab character, but I begin to wonder if a table really is the right solution
for this layout.
