A tab stop is used to help user aligning their text by pressing the tab key. By defining meaningful tab stops in your template you prevent inconsistent formatting by your users like:Adding multiple spaces to position the textAdding multiple tab stop to align textThe behavior of the tab key is influenced by two settings. Each of them must be configured thoughtfully in every template.Default TabThe default tab is the basic grid for the tab stops in the whole document. By default, this is set to 1.25 cm. This value should be defined closely to the tab stops in your former documents. Otherwise, the text copied from older documents will be formatted badly when it's inserted into a new document.To set the default tab you open the 'Tab' menu in the paragraph options. At the top right corner is the setting for the default tab stop.Tab setting in a paragraph styleIf you need a special tab setting for a specific part in your template, you have the possibility to define the tab stop as part of a paragraph style.For this, create a new paragraph style and open the tab menu. There you can add one or more tab stops for this style. For each tab stop the following setting must be defined:AlignmentLeft - The text extends to the right of the tabCenter - The text is centered with the tab as the middleRight - The text extends to the left of the tabDecimal - Text before the decimal point extends to the left and the text after the point extends to the rightBar - A vertical bar is added at the tab stopLeaderNone - nothing is shown in the documentDots - the space of the tab is filled with a line of dotsHyphens - the space is filled with a line of hyphensUnderlines - the space is filled with a line of underlinesRemark: Never use the tab menu of the paragraph directly to set a tab stop in your template. Always create a style to define specific tab stop settings.
