Using the horizontal ruler<br />

All the tab stops set for the current paragraph are shown in the horizontal ruler as<br />

in the following example:<br />

The horizontal ruler with some flush left tabs set at various positions<br />

With the ruler, tab stops can be set, moved and deleted.<br />

To set tab stops, proceed as follows:<br />

1. Place the text cursor in the paragraph of interest (or select multiple paragraphs<br />

to be modified).<br />

2. To choose the desired tab type, click on one of the following icons in the<br />

Formatting toolbar:<br />

Flush left tab<br />

Flush right tab (the text ends at the tab position)<br />

Centered tab (the text is centered on the tab position)<br />

Decimal tab (numbers are aligned on the decimal separator)<br />

Alternatively, you can click the icon directly left of the ruler to change the tab<br />

type. Each mouse click rotates through the available tab types.<br />

3. Finally, simply click on the ruler on the desired positions to set the tab stops.<br />

If the position of a tab stop does not suit you, you can move it very easily by<br />

clicking on it with the mouse and, while holding the mouse button down, dragging<br />

it to another position.<br />

To clear a tab stop, drag it downward outside the ruler.<br />

Bulleted lists<br />

Lists in which each item is placed in its own paragraph and set off with a marker,<br />

are much easier to read than comma separated lists. The markers used for such lists<br />

(typically little boxes, circles, etc.) are called bullets.<br />
