Tabs are the facility which help to display the content in more structured and tabular form without using tables.

Setting up the Tab Stops:

1. Click the tab selector at the left end of the ruler it displays the type of tab that you want.

2. Click in the ruler at the top of our page, where we want to set the tab stop.

The different types of tab stops are:

• Left Tab stop sets the start position of text that will then run to the right as we type.
• Center Tab stop sets the position of the middle of the text. The text centers on this position as we type.
• Right Tab stop Sets the right end of the text. As we type, the text moves to the left.
• Decimal Tab stop aligns numbers around a decimal point. Independent of the number of digits, the decimal point will be in the same position. (We can align numbers around a decimal character only)

Bar Tab stop doesn’t position text. It inserts a vertical bar at the tab position. Desired Tab stop will be placed at the point in the present paragraph.
