<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a (relatively) simple way of
simulating the dotted leading used in table columns (\tabular) in
old documents to separate text on the left from a number on the right?
I specifically want to produce something like this in a \multicolumn
2-column span:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Mirror,
duplex ... ... ...
... ... 1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To line this up with similar rows above and
below, I can set a fixed space between the two sides in the first row,
and fill following rows with rubber space. But not with dotted
leading! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Incidentally, I have to use a 2-column span
because the table becomes 2-column further down.</FONT></DIV>
