1. Re: In Design CS 5.5 --- Question about Leader Dots ("RIGHT TAB")
rob day May 7, 2014 4:38 PM (in response to Ceencha)Apply a Character style to the tab character—don't try and do it from the Paragraph style. You can stay with a period as the leader and manipulate the size and spread of the dots via the character style. So here I've applied the Leader character style to the tab or the right indent tab and changed the point size and tracking of the style to make a leader with smaller dots and more spacing:

Not if you use a GREP style in the TOC paragraph style that I'm showing in my last post. I'm showing it with a Right Indent Tab, but if you are using a regular tab use \t instead of ~y All you should have to do is set up a character style with the desired tracking and point size and have the TOC Paragraph style's Grep Style change all tabs to your leader Character Style.
If for some reason you don't want to use a GREP or Nested Style, then yes you would have to apply the character style to the tab either manually or via find and replace.

Ceencha May 13, 2014 8:01 AM (in response to rob day)I think I need 2 learn how 2 do this GREP style business, because the DOT LEADER thing is odd — when I try to adjust the DOT LEADER CHARACT. STYLE it has no effect … once I've created the TOC
