• Welcome to TeX.sx! Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. – jub0bs Apr 22 '13 at 17:19

Do you mean like this?

That seems a little strange but can be achieved with:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\noindent X\dotfill X
$$\hskip \textwidth minus \textwidth e=mc^2 \leaders\hbox{ . }\hskip \textwidth minus \textwidth$$

\end{document}

• Please use E rather than e in the formula... :-) – Mico Apr 22 '13 at 18:17
