What is "when setting tabs using the ruler?

Setting tabs using the ruler in word processors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs provides precise control over tab stop positions. Here's some key information:

• Ruler Visibility: Ensure the ruler is visible. Usually, this is toggled through the "View" menu.

• Tab Stop Types: The ruler often allows you to choose the type of tab stop, such as <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Left%20Tab">Left Tab</a> (text aligns left), <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Center%20Tab">Center Tab</a> (text centers), <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Right%20Tab">Right Tab</a> (text aligns right), <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Decimal%20Tab">Decimal Tab</a> (numbers align by decimal), and <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Bar%20Tab">Bar Tab</a> (inserts a vertical line).

• Setting Tab Stops: Click on the ruler at the desired position to insert a tab stop of the currently selected type.

• Moving Tab Stops: Drag existing tab stop markers on the ruler to reposition them.

• Removing Tab Stops: Drag a tab stop marker off the ruler to remove it.

• Applying Tabs: After setting the tab stops, press the "Tab" key on your keyboard to move the insertion point to the next tab stop. The alignment will follow the type of tab stop you set.

• Paragraph Specific: Tab settings are often paragraph-specific. Changes to the ruler affect the currently selected paragraph(s).

• Fine-tuning: For very precise placement, you can typically double-click a tab stop on the ruler to open a dialog box where you can enter an exact numerical position.
