    I've been wondering if a couple of things are
    possible in AbiWord and how to achieve them. If
    they are not possible yet I'll submit RFEs.

    It's often desirable to have part of a line of text
    left-aligned and part right-aligned. This is common
    in the contents and index pages of books. When we
    have tables there will be a table-abuse way to do this
    but is there a way now? Perhaps with some kind of
    special tab?

    An enhancement of the above also in contents pages of
    magazines and books is to fill the intervening space
    between the left and right with a line of period
    characters. Does any word processor support this?
    It would be very useful.

    Andrew Dunbar.
