Word 2000
I want to use something other than the 3 characters provided as tab
leader options.
As an old C programmer, I outlined the algorithm I would use, but
don't know if VBA has the right methods.
If a method could return the 'length' of a line of text using a
variable width font and then subtract that from the total length
available (left margin to the leader tab), you could then divide that
length by the width of my leader character to determine how many to
insert.
I am just thinking out of the box ;-)
I imagine VBA can tell me the number of characters in a line, but for
a non-fixed-width font, that won't help. I need it in pixels, or
points, inches or some other "real" unit.
Then it would need to iterate through each line of the selection and
do the actual replacement.
Possible?
