Using Tabs

You can set any type of tab stop at any point along the ruler. For example, you can change the tab to advance .8" each time you press the tab key. When you change tab settings in a document, changes are in effect from that point forward.

You can set your own tabs by using the Tabs dialog box.

To Change a Tab Stop:

• Choose FormatTabs from the menu bar.
• A Tabs dialog box appears:
  
• In the Default tab stops: box, the default tab setting is .5".
• Press the "up" arrow to increase the distance between the tabs, press the "down" arrow to decrease the distance.
• In the Alignment menu, the default setting is aligned Left. This means that text typed at this setting will align at the left and move text to the right of the tab as you type.
• Click OK.
