Spacing between tabs, generally set to every half inch. To change a tab, simply point at the ruler bar with your mouse, and click the left mouse button, You will see a triangle appear on the bar, and notice that the faint vertical lines on the bar to the left of the triangle are now gone. By setting a tab you automatically remove any tab settings to the left. At the far left of the ruler bar you will find an icon that will allow you to change between several tab types. The dialog box that appears will allow you to remove all current tab settings and place new ones at specific locations.
Borders are also paragraph codes, and are available from the Format menu or from the toolbar.
The Format menu allows you to change the width, style and color of the border. The Border icon on the toolbar will bring up a tool bar specific to borders. The latter choice allows you to decide what the bullets will look like, and also allow you to choose a multi-level outline rather than the default, which allows only one level. To stop numbering, press the icon once more. The Increase Indent and Decrease Indent buttons on the toolbar will indent your entire paragraph to the next tab setting, ordinarily a half-inch at a time.
