Leaders Across Table Cells

[cubswin96]

I am confused by these instructions I received...

Key the following information into a two-column table. Use a left tab
for the first column and a right tab for the second column. Use leaders
between the columns.

How do I do this? I select the table and then I manually set tabs on
both ends of the table. I then go to Format-->Tabs and set the leaders
and it doesn't do anything. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Tabs and leaders generally have no place in a table. Why not just do it in
the document itself? See
