Lotus Notes 7 Help - Setting tabs

WORKING WITH DOCUMENTS

Setting tabs
You can set tabs any time while creating a document, following these guidelines:

Enter numbers in inches or centimeters (for example, 1" or 2.5cm).
If you enter more than one tab stop, separate them with semicolons (for example, 1.5";2.5";3").
Enter L, C, R, or D before the tab stop to specify a left, centered, right, or decimal tab stop, respectively (for example, C1" or R2.5cm).

1. Put the document in Edit mode.

2. Select the paragraph(s).

3. Choose Text - Text Properties.

Note

To set tabs for a paragraph that contains a hotspot, button, attachment, or object, select the item, and choose <Item> - <Item> Properties. (Notes sets tabs for the paragraph that contains the item.)

4. Click the Paragraph Margins tab.

5. In the Tab stops field:

Select "Individually set," and in the field below this option, enter the specific number of tab stops.
Select "Evenly spaced," and enter the interval in inches for tab stops.

To set tabs with the ruler

1. Put the document in Edit mode.

2. Select the paragraph(s).

3. Choose View - Ruler.

4. Set the tab stops as follows:

For left tab stops, click where you want a left tab stop (a marker appears on the ruler).
For right, center, or decimal tab stops, right-click (Macintosh users, CTRL+click) ruler, and select a specific setting from the menu.
To delete a tab stop, right-click the tab stop and choose "Delete Tab."

Tip To remove a tab stop, click it. To change a tab's type, for example, change a Left tab to a Center tab, right-click the tab stop and select a new tab type from the menu. (Macintosh users, click the tab stop to delete it and create a new one.)
