How to set tabs

[Anne_Colton]

Hi! I am new to MS Word and am trying to figure out how to set tabs on a document. The only way I have found is to go to Paragraph/Tabs and then set the number numerically. Is there a way to do this visually, without guessing what the number might be? Or at least is there a way to see the rulers on the document so I can at least get close?

Thanks in advance!

Show the Ruler. I think if you then click on the ruler iit will create tabs

Before you start adjusting tab stops, make sure to turn on both formatting marks and the ruler. The formatting marks make it easy to see what's going on in your document, especially when it comes to tabs. The ruler is necessary to easily add, move, and remove tab stops.

and would strongly suggest the tabs be part of a Style!!
