You could use an ordinary Find/Replace, where:
Find = ^p
Replace = -------------------------------------------------------------------^p-----

thanks macropod, but not fully working...

i means, for new paragraph not work, and for last sentences should be fully full hyphens (alignment justified), i am using office 2007...

any ideas??

for new paragraph not work
Please explain. As provided, the expression puts '-----' before every paragraph's text except the first.

for last sentences should be fully full hyphens (alignment justified)
That really isn't possible, because there is no way to ensure any given number of hyphens will have the same width as the remaining line width. What you should consider is using a right-aligned tab-stop with a tab formatted as strike-through at the end of every paragraph. The appropriate way to add the tab-stops is by modifying the paragraph Styles. The strike-through tabs can be inserted via Find/Replace.
