FORMAT TABS
 
Procedures: <Working with tabs>
 
Use the Format Tabs command to set, clear, and
reset <tab stops>, and to align text in
<tables>.
 
■ You can set tabs in Word using either the
  <ruler> or the Format Tabs command.
  If you use a mouse, the ruler is especially
  helpful.
 
■ Word's <default> tab stops appear at 0.5-inch
  intervals. You can change the default tab stops
  using the Utilities Customize command.
 
■ To see tab stops and <tab characters> on the
  screen, choose the View Preferences command and
  turn on the Show All or Tabs check box.
 
■ You create tables by setting custom tab stops
  for each column in the table. Once you create a
  table, you can select, delete, move, or copy a
  column.
 
■ Word provides <macros> that set up tables and
  tabs quickly. For more information, see Chapter
  22, "Macros," in the Using Manual.
