Place the cursor in the paragraph where you want to set the tab stop.
Choose Tabs from the Format menu.
In the Tab stop position box, enter a number (Word uses the default measurement unit).
Click the Set button.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set additional tab stops.

Remember: the number of tab characters in the paragraph must match the number of tab stops set in that paragraph. You can also set tabs by clicking in the Ruler. The default is usually set to a left-aligned tab; you can select other tab alignments by clicking on the button at the far left end of the Ruler.   _{Your Comment}
