medial spacing expressed as dot leaders

Hi Word Gurus,

In W2003, I need a formatting that will handle an eccentric poetic line.
Each line looks like this:

Some words on the left encroching way over on the right. Then
A second line. With more
words.
Yet another line. Words after the medial spaces.
Last line of stanza. It sure takes takes work to align this!

I suppose that Word thinks that each line is a paragraph.

I would like the the medial spacing to actually print as dot leaders! Like
the way you can make the space visible as a non-printing character -- I
would like it to print.

Is this impossible for Word to do?

Set a right aligned tab at the right margin with a dotted leader
Type the first bit then press tab and type the second bit. Type shift enter
to start a new line

You can use tab stops with leaders (Format | Tabs). However, note that there is a limited range of leaders to choose from.
