Custom tab types
You can set different types of custom tab. By default, custom tabs are left align tabs. This means that
text will be aligned with the tab on the left of the text.
To change the tab type, click the tab icon on
the ruler.
The following custom tab types are
available. You are not limited to just one
type in a story, and can choose a different
type then set additional tabs.
Left align:
The text will be aligned with the tab to the left.
Right align:
The text will be aligned with the tab to the right.
Center align:
The text will be centered on the tab.
Decimal point align:
The decimal points in the text will be aligned with the tab. This
is useful for lists and, however long the number, the decimal
points (periods) will be tab-aligned.
How to creating hanging indents
Hanging Indents, as they are known, are where the first line of a paragraph has a negative margin or a
margin that hangs to the left of the normal left margin. Numbered or bulleted lists are examples of hanging
indents.
To create hanging indents:
1.
Drag the left margin inwards.
2.
Click on the ruler away from the left margin (creates a new tab stop) and drag this tab stop to be
exactly over the left margin.
3.
Now each line will start outdented—you can insert any special character or number and press
"Tab" to move to the left margin. And (as with this paragraph) all subsequent lines of text are
indented to the left margin.
