Is it possible to increase the spacing between tab fill characters e.g. if I have a tab fill character set to use the full-stop it comes out like the first example. I'd like it to come out like the second line but when I tried to adjust the character spacing it actually came out like the third line.
how it really appears..................after the tab
how I want it to appear . . . . . . . .after the tab
m y f a i l e d a t t e m p t......after the tab
Is the tab fill character spacing adjustable?
Thanks
To quickly do this with all Tab-spaces in the text, use the Find&Replace: Search for - \t, More options - Regular expressions - On, Find All and Close
Under "Fill character," select "Character" and input something different—I recommend using the ellipsis character (…), which results in a slightly larger per-dot spacing than the standard period. Unfortunately, you can't set multiple characters there, or you could manually space periods.
