Aligning Specific Characters!

You can use the soft hyphen character or the decimal tab to align paragraphs on any character. Simply insert a soft hy-
phen after each character you want to align with the decimal tab.!

!

Each time you press the Return key to create a new paragraph, the tabs of the new paragraph are the same as the previ-
ous paragraph.!

Creating Tabs!

By default, left tab stops are set about every half inch but aren’t displayed in the ruler. 

You can override the default tab stops by setting your own tabs.!

When you set your own tabs, default tabs to the left of the tab you set are ignored. As a result, pressing the Tab key once
moves the insertion point to your first custom tab. Pressing the Tab key again either moves the cursor to the next default
tab or custom tab.!

You can create your own tabs interactively or via the Tab dialog box.
