Using the Tab Ruler palette
The Tab Ruler palette lets you quickly
set left, right, center, and decimal-point
tabs in type. When setting tabs, a visual
tab guide appears in the selected type
to help you set tabs, even if the type
path is rotated or wrapped. The units of
measure for the tab ruler are defined by
the units of measure specified in the
Document Setup dialog box.
To set tabs in text:
1
Select any type container or type path
using a selection tool, or set an insertion
point or select a range of text using the
type tool.
2 Select Window > Show Tab Ruler.
3 Choose from these options:
• Click the Alignment box at the upper
right of the palette to align the Tab Ruler
with the left margin of the text.
