Hi,

Tab spaces are defined in paragraph format.

tab defined in paragraph PS

1st tab 1 CM

2nd tab 5 CM

Ex:PS ,,abc ,, def "Note: ,, is one tab space..

so ABC print from 1 CM from window start and DEF prints 5 CM from start

Ex:output

The Tab positions you specify is in distance concept.

Like you enter the tabs as 1,3,7 and say this is in inches..

This means there are 3 tab positions..One at 1 inch from the Left End,

Second at 3 inches from left and this way the final tab is at 7 Inches from left.

See this is useless if you enter data between longer than the gap...

So A ,, B ,, C will get U character A at 1 inch from Left, B at 3 inches from left and c after 7 inches from Left

Hope u understand this point.Now with this in mind try ...

<b>Do Reward some points if this adds anything to ur understanding</b>

You can ask any further clarifications also.
