Tabs can be defined using the Paragraph formats.

You have to define the tab position increasing order.

Tabs in Paragraph Formats

You can define as many tab positions as you require for each paragraph format. The text can be aligned in different ways:

· Left-aligned with LEFT

· Right-aligned with RIGHT

· Centered with CENTER

· At the sign with SIGN

· At the comma or decimal point with DECIMAL

You can control the tab feed in a paragraph with tab positions. The tab stops you define in the paragraph format replace the tab spacing you defined in the header data of the form. However, this depends on the extent to which you have defined tab stops in the paragraph format. If there are fewer tabs in the paragraph formats than in the header data, the tab stops of the header data are used for the rest of the line. The tab stops are represented as, , in the text editor.

You can use different units of measurement to define a tab position:

· CH Characters

· CM Centimeters

· MM Millimeters

· PT Points

· TW Twips (1/20 point)

The unit of measurement CH is converted to an absolute unit of measurement using the CPI value (characters per inch) from the header data of the form.
