Corel WordPerfect has a great code defined as 'FLUSH RIGHT' which allows
users to type text left-aligned, but then, at any point, force the rest of
the text to be right-aligned. The code was inserted with a function key,
just as you might enter a tab. Pressing the function key twice, added
dot-leaders between the left-aligned text and the right-aligned text. Is
there a similar code or feature in Word 2007?
I do recognize that the user can set up a right dot-leader tab on the right
margin to accomplish this, but then you still have to contend with the other
tabs inbetween that you may, or may not, need. Furthermore, you must tab
past any existing tabs each time in order to reach the right-tab at the
right margin. Moreover, each tab, executed between the two parts of text,
inhibits the dot-leaders desired between the entries.
The beauty of the WordPerfect approach, is that you leave all your tabs
defined as needed and simply use the 'Flush Right', or 'Flush Right' with
dot leaders, whenever you need to slide a portion of a line to the right
margin for some given purpose.
For example, you can print questions to the left and answers (with dot
leaders, if desired) to the right. Likewise, you can create programs
listing events, speakers, or musical presentations that are left-aligned and
coorresponding descriptions, names, or numbers that are right-aligned.
I.E., you do not need to repeatedly press pass existing tabs in order to
right-align the desired portion of text.
