Tabs!
A tab is a non-printing character that’s typed each time you press the Tab key. Pressing tab
moves the insertion point to the next tab stop. !
Note: To see tabs and all other invisible characters, choose Show Invisible Characters from the
Document window or press the Show Invisible Characters button in the tool bar."
There are four kinds of tabs: left, center, right, and decimal. !
When you move the insertion point to a left tab and type,
text aligns on the left and flows to the right.!
When you move the insertion point to a right tab and type,
text aligns on the right and flows to the left.!
When you move the insertion point to a center tab and
type, the center of the text aligns with the tab and text
flows to the left and right.!
When you move the insertion point to a decimal tab and type, text flows to
the left until you type a decimal, period, or soft hyphen. Then text flows to
the right. Decimal tabs are particularly useful for aligning currency or other
decimal numbers.
