If you’re cycling through tab stops and don’t remember what each symbol means, move your mouse away from the button and then back to activate a tool tip describing that tab stop. This works the same as dragging the indent markers the way we discussed in the previous section.Ī little tip for you. Indents: Select first line and hanging indent options and then click anywhere in the active ruler space (the white area) to place the indent there.You could use these for putting vertical lines between tabbed columns in instances where you’d rather not use a table. Instead, they create a vertical line wherever you insert them. Bar Tab: Bar tabs do not create an actual tab stop.Text is also aligned on decimals, so if you type a sentence with a period, the period will align on the tab stop. They are great for aligning currency figures.
If you click at the beginning of a paragraph and press Tab, Word will indent the first line to the first user-defined tab stop or the first default tab stop. On the ruler, drag the tab stop pointing down as far right as you want the selected paragraphs to be indented. To apply a first-line indent to multiple paragraphs, select the paragraphs you want to indent. Press Ctrl + Shift + T to decrease or remove the indent (move to the left). If you want to apply a first-line indent to a single paragraph, position your cursor in the paragraph you want to indent. Right: Right tabs align text against the tab stop’s right edge and are a great way to align the rightmost digits of lengthy lists of numbers as you enter them. If you keep pressing Ctrl + T, Word will keep indenting by tab stop to the right.Center: Center tabs align the text around the center of the tab stop.
Text is aligned against the left edge of the tab stop. They’re what most people think of when they think of tab stops, and what you’ll likely use most of the time.
