I have recently bought a MacBook.While I was typing on Word 2016 for Mac,I wanted to create space with dots for filling information.For example: Mrs.John live in........ However, I don't know how to do so because Word 2016 for Mac is quite different from my Word 2010 for Window computer.Please help!

Did you try pressing down the period key and holding it?

@Nyle ed,
Don't know how to help you ,but just for clarity's sake, did you mean you only want a line of dots in the blank space, like Centrox said? Or do you want a whole bunch of small dots filling up the entire space, making the whole space grey?

@Nyle ed,
as centrox suggested, hold down the period key and....................................voila

if you want you could use the asterix like so*****************, it might not confuse the program with odd punctuation

the program used shouldn't really matter, keyboard usage in word processing programs is pretty universal

@Nyle ed,
Good q Nyle. I suppose you're asking for more than that single line, like '.......' . There's a way to get what we Exps call 'tone' to fill the entire gap and if I remembered how I'd tellya. However I will fwd this to my sons who will surely know

Note my clever uses of '.'.
