dot leaders in Word

Word 07, XPPro
Anyone know how to make dot leaders in Word? I can do it so long as I use spaces instead of the tab to indent T of C entries, but that's inaccurate and inconvenient. When I use the tab indent, the dots pop over to the left of the entry instead of between the entry and page number. Same thing happens in Word 03. Yes, I can use Word's T of C feature, but can't make it do what I want. MS stuff is impossible, and I have spent hours with their so-called "help" feature and online searching for an answer. Everything is so easy in WP, and I read one post to enter the info there, and copy/paste to Word, but it did not work for me -- the dot leaders all disappeared.
Thanks
