At the very right of the Formatting toolbar four different tab icons are presented:

Decimal tab (numbers are aligned on the decimal separator)
Now click on the icon for flush left tabs.
3. Click on the desired tab position(s) in the ruler:
With the mouse, click on the (approximate) positions 1 inch, 3 inches, 4 inches

the tab stops before you typed the line “Your reference,” etc., and then typed
the text along with the tabs.
The ruler and text should now look something like this:
The tab stops are now set and are displayed in the ruler.
If the position of a tab stop doesn’t suit you, you can shift it right there in the ruler:
First, select the paragraphs to be modified as necessary; then, with your mouse,

you drag a tab stop downward out of the ruler, it is deleted.
There is yet another way to proceed when setting tab stops. With both paragraphs
selected, invoke Format > Tabs. A dialog box opens and shows you the exact
positions of the tab stops that are currently set. This dialog works as follows:
