Clicking in Ruler Does Not Create New Tab

[compupix]

Double-clicking in the ruler does not insert a new tab. It brings up the Page Setup dialog.

The left edge of the ruler doesn't show tab types.

How do I change those two behaviors?

@compupix I believe that the issue is that you are in Web Layout view.

If you switch to Print Layout View, the functionality to which you make reference will be available.

Changing to Print Layout worked. I think this is a change in behavior.

Thanks!

@compupix Not really,  Print Layout view is the default

Maybe you had inadvertently clicked on the Web Layout button that is next to the Print Layout button
