     There is a bug in XPress 6.x in that if you were working in it for a while and tried to set tab leaders, no matter what you did they would not appear. The solution was to quit XPress and apply tab leaders to the document immediately after restarting XPress.

    I think (according to a different post of yours I read) you are on XPress 8.x right? You could try doing this. The bug may have carried over, I don't know.

    Also, when you're in the Tab window, you have to click on the little tab arrow up in the ruler to select it, then enter the fill character. Sometimes people don't realize you have to select the arrow first.
