Use leaders to guide the reader from one piece of information to another across a page, such as in a table of contents, price list, or invoice. You can add leaders to a line or block of text in text objects and in the caption area of objects such as text fields, decimal fields, and numeric fields. When the text object or caption area is in edit mode, the Leader command is available in the Insert menu and the Context menu.
You can define and edit leader properties such as the end position, pattern, line thickness or dot spacing, and alignment. You can also adjust the positioning, size, and appearance of leaders by using the options in the Font and Paragraph palettes.
When you add a leader, LiveCycle Designer ES draws a leader from the insertion point to the end position that you specify. The leader end position is based on ruler increments. The default end position extends the leader to the right edge of the caption or static text object. You can only define or edit one leader at a time. All changes are applied immediately.
You can define different leaders for each paragraph of text. However, it is important to understand that a new paragraph inherits the leader properties from the previous paragraph. In other words, when you create a new paragraph, any leaders defined in the previous paragraph apply to the new paragraph.
