TABS
1 Create A New File2 Save As Tabs –dessert menu
Information using the TAB KEY
The RULER BAR is located underneath the TOOLBAR has settings every .25mm or ¼ inch. If you press the TAB KEY on the keyboard it stops at every one of these settings. If you want to type on the left margin and then the next time you press the TAB KEY you stop further over the page you make a TAB SETTING. This eliminates the need to keep pressing the TAB KEY to get there. Time consuming and un-necessary. By making the TAB SETTING where you want it you need only press the TAB KEY once.
Tabs are used to keep your work in a direct line underneath each other. This is called INDENTING, as you can see below after each number the words come direct in line underneath. If you use the SPACE BAR on the keyboard you do not get a perfect indenting as each letter is a different shape, but by using the TAB KEY it prevents that. You can set the TABS to stop anywhere you like.
By using the decimal TAB it lines the decimal point first and adjusts the numbers either side so they are in perfect alignment.
