To change tab settings for a paragraph, select Tabs from the Format menu or double-click a tab stop on the ruler to display the "Tabs" dialog.
To enter a new tab location, type a value in the entry box at the top left of the dialog, then choose one of the four styles of tab stop:
Left - text is inserted to the right of the tab position
Right - text is inserted to the left of the tab position
Center - text is inserted equally to the left and right of the tab position
Decimal - text is inserted so that the decimal point lines up with the tab position
Click on Set to set the new tab.
To erase a tab stop, click on it in the list of tabs on the left of the dialog and then click on the Remove button. Click on the Remove All to clear all the tab settings.
To reset all the tabs, enter a value for the tab spacing in the Step box (in the Auto Ordering group box) and click on the Reorder button. All the tabs are replaced with new settings following the Step value you have chosen.
