The solution using a tab leader is the way to go; there's just one more step, as follows:
- In the paragraph in question, set a center-aligned tab stop centered between the margins.
- Set a right-aligned tab stop at the right margin.
- In the Tabs dialog, select a hyphen tab leader for both tab stops.
- Press Tab once, type "TESTS"; then press Tab again. You will have a broken line before and after the word.
- Select the line or tab character and press Ctrl+D to open the Font dialog.
- On the Advanced tab, in the Spacing box, select Condensed. The default setting is 1 point, but you can increase this as needed to make the hyphens join. You may also want to increase the point size of the tab characters to make the line heavier.
- You may want to add a space character before and after the text so that the line is not so close.
Here's an example:
Another approach is to format the tab characters as Strikethrough; again, you may need to increase the point size.
