Use Tabs for Different Types of Alignment

There are four different types of tabs in Microsoft Word left, center, right, and decimal.
A leader character is frequently used in conjunction with right tabs to guide the readers
eye across the page. The default tab stops are set every inch and are left aligned, but
you can change the alignment and/or position with the Tabs command in the Format menu.
You can also use the Tab button that appears to the left of the horizontal ruler.
Click in the paragraph where you want to set the tab, click the Tab button repeatedly to
choose the type of tab, and then click the appropriate place on the horizontal ruler. You
can remove a tab simply by dragging it off the horizontal ruler. Use this document to
implement the indicated settings.
