Using tab rulers (CS5.5 only)
You use the tab ruler to add tab stops to TLF text containers. The tab ruler appears when a TLF text container is in edit mode. The tab ruler
displays tab stops defined for the currently selected paragraphs. It also shows markers for paragraph margins and first-line indent.
Hide or show tab ruler Choose Text > TLF Tab Ruler.
Set type of tab Double-click a marker or Shift-click several markers and select a type from the menu.
Start, Center, or End tab Aligns the start, end, or center of the text to the tab stop.
Decimal tab Aligns a character in the text to the tab stop. This character is usually a decimal point, shown by default in the menu. To
align to a dash or other character, enter it in the menu.
Add tab Click in the tab ruler. The tab marker appears at that location in the tab ruler.
Move tab Drag the tab marker to a new location. (To move it precisely, double-click its tab marker and enter a pixel location for the marker.)
Delete tab Drag its marker downward off the tab ruler until it disappears. (If the text is vertically aligned, drag the marker to the left, toward the
text, until it disappears.)
Change unit of measure Choose Modify > Document. Then select a unit from the Ruler Units menu in the dialog box.
