alignment

Is it possible to set Microsoft Word to display some text left-aligned and other text right-aligned on a single line? Here's an example of what I mean:

| Chickens, turkey and duck               30 |
| Cows                                   240 |
| Pigs and boar                           83 |
| Sheep                       Not applicable |

where the vertical lines denote the sides of the page.

The full justify option won't work because I don't want anything in the middle of the lines. The table of contents option has the formatting I want, but only supports page numbers, which does me no good.
