I use Courier New at home constantly, I think I use 11
points, and for the reason you cite. It's very similar to
Pica. I've varied between 11 and 12 over the years.

The default is five spaces, and when you press Alt-O-T, you
first clear all, then set, then change default if you want.
I have one some documents where most of the tabs are left
align, but one or two, according to which document are set
for decimal alignment. Those I have set in Currier New Font,
since the characters or like typewriters, and the figures
will align correctly that way - advice from my husband the
printer.

Bye for now,

Carolyn

First, I understand your question. At first glance, 2015
doesn't seem as intuitive as versions once were. I'd begin
by concentrating on the layout tab. You need to know the
kind of tab you're setting. It also won't hurt to know
spaces per inch in the font you're using. I think the
default tab is five spaces, but these aren't your father's
fonts.

Hello, everyone.



I know I have done this before, but I'm having trouble
remembering how to set tabs in a Microsoft Word document.



I am trying to create a report form for a project I'm
working on, and want to set three or four tabs for each line
on the form.



I am using Word 2016 here, with Windows 7.



Thanks for any memory jogs anyone can provide.
