Advanced question: can I add right aligned text to a left aligned paragraph style.

Hello Stijn_verschueren ,
sure you can.
What you need is a style separator (Alt+Ctrl+Return).
Here is how you do it:
1. Type and style your heading. Place the right tab on the rule where you want your comment end. Press Return.
2. Type and style your future comment text. Don't bother with the right align, but place a tabulator before the text. Press Return.
3. Type and style whatever text follows.
4. Place your cursor before the paragraph mark of the heading and do Alt+Ctrl+Return (or you can put that command to the quick ribbon, 'Style separator' is still available in Word commands). The text will "join" visually, but not stylistically.
The beauty of the style separator is to join two styles, usually a Heading and a Body text, into one line without the text showing in TOC.
Hope this helps.

- Stijn_verschuerenAug 15, 2021Copper ContributorThx for the quick help. I'm not so familiar with tabulators so a link to a tutorial would be helpful. But even without it's a huge improvement. The images were helpful as control point.
