Menu+with+TABS

__CREATE a MENU with TABS __ Activity Overview: Dot leaders (rows of dots) are used to separate information that is presented in two or more columns, making it easier for the reader to visually “line up” text. You will commonly find dot leaders used in a //table of contents,// an index, or in a restaurant menu. Leaders may be square or round dots with varied spacing, dashes, lines, or other character combinations. In this activity, you will set tabs with leaders for a menu for an ice cream shoppe.
