The easiest thing to do would be to set up tabs with leaders. Leaders are
characters that appear before the tab starting from the place where you hit
the tab key.

In PageMaker, when you bring up the tabs/indents box (cmd-I), there's a box
with a menu that says "Leader." To utilize this, highlight the tab that you
want to have a leader, then pull down the menu from the "Leader" box and you
can pick the underline there. Now whenever you tab over to that particular
tab stop, the intervening spaces will be filled with underlines.

You can use any character you want as a leader, actually. If you need more
help, check your PageMaker help section.

Hope that solves the problem!
