select a tab to delete
Hi Chris,
You cannot select default tabs and delete them. You can change the spacing of default tabs.
If you set a tab, any default tabs before it will be ignored, i.e., not set.
- Hello,
I thought if you selected default tabs then tab stops would be created in the ruler line that you can then tweek or delete as appropriate. I understand this is not the case.
regardsDefault tab stops are in effect throughout the document until you add a custom tab stop which will override all the default tab stops to the left of the custom tab stop in the paragraph to which you added the custom stop. It is generally a better idea to depend on the custom ones. 🙂
Note that the tab settings are by paragraph, not page or document. They are best handled in paragraph styles.
Charles makes an important point: Custom tab stops are defined for one or more paragraphs (depending on what is selected when you add a custom tab stop). Adding them to paragraph styles is the best practice.
