Stub leadering refers to text patterns such as "….." or "-----" that are placed between the text of a stub and the first column of the table.

By default, no stub leadering is displayed. To add stub leadering to a table, right-click anywhere on the table and choose Format (Table) or choose Format (Table) from the Edit menu to launch the Format (Table) dialog.

Choose the desired pattern from the Stub leadering pulldown menu. If you have chosen to display both left and right stubs, you can set different leadering patterns for each one.
Note: Stub leadering is only visible in Print Preview and on the printed page.
Using the Format Print (Table) dialog will stub leadering for the current table. You may set stub leadering for all tables in the file using the preferences.
