Tab Controls in the Layout Pane
When a Rich Text Format file is imported, any tabs in the RTF file are retained in the
Motion project. This information is displayed in the Layout pane of the text Inspector.
When text is created in Motion, it has no tab information, but tabs can be created. Adding,
moving, and removing tabs is done in the Canvas. Moving tabs, by modifying their values,
is done in the Inspector.
Tabs can also be added, moved, and removed in the Canvas. The tab, margin, and
alignment options are especially useful when formatting credit rolls.
Tab 0, 1, 2, and so on: Lists the tabs in the paragraph, including their type and positions.
