Writer • Inserting massive amount of tabs in document

$

I have used Open Office over many years mainly for Text and Spreadsheet Documents quite successfully, but just recently come up with a requirement which I have not experienced previously, and now wonder if someone on your staff might be able to help me with it.

I am attaching 2 .pdf documents which I hope will help to see the problem I have experienced.

In essence I have a Master list of Musical Tune List Names with a playing Key and a Page Number.
My attempt to make this into a new document of two columns, with a smaller size of Type Font and the “Playing Key” and “Page Number” each centred under their own heading. My first attempts are seen in the second of the 2 .pdf documents.
Using the tried old “Tab Stops” method, I soon realised that not having even completed the first page, this method was going to take me years to complete all the entries.

Looking at the original list, I noticed that the fist of Tab Stops could be made begin with the “_” (underscore character) being used to set the first Stop to alien under the “Key” heading and the first “.”(Full Point) to appear under the “Page” heading using a formula or command (that I am not aware of), but you maybe.

Any help with this, would be most appreciated.
