234 Text Handling

• To set more than one tab click multiple times on the ruler.
• To move a custom tab drag it along the ruler.
• To remove a tab drag it off of the ruler (default tabs will come back).

After creating a tab stop, you can edit the properties of the tab by double clicking on the
tab stop, right-clicking on the tab stop > Tab Stop Properties, or by right-clicking within
the tab space > Tab Stop Properties.

In the Tab Stop Properties dialog, you will see these settings:

Alignment
This allows you to change the alignment of the text at an existing tab stop to Left, Centre,
Right and Decimal (see Custom tab types (on page 234)).
Position
Normally the position of a tab stop is set by markers on the Ruler, however here you can
now set the value numerically.

Leader Character
Type any character into this field to fill the selected tab space with that character (see
Tab Leaders (on page 236)).

Show Rulers
This checkbox is provided for convenience to enable or disable the page rulers (see
Rulers).
Custom tab types

You can set different types of custom tab. By default, custom tabs are left align tabs. This
means that text will be aligned with the tab on the left of the text.
