Thumbs up Answer: How do I align on a colon?

Yes, you can definitely align on a colon in Microsoft Word! Here's how:
  1. First, type out your itinerary with the times and colons as you normally would.
  2. Highlight all of the text that you want to align on the colon.
  3. Click on the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  4. Look for the "Paragraph" section of the ribbon, which should be on the far right side.
  5. Click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the "Paragraph" section. This will open up the "Paragraph" dialog box.
  6. In the "Paragraph" dialog box, look for the "Tabs" button at the bottom left corner and click on it.
  7. In the "Tabs" dialog box, you'll see a section labeled "Tab stop position." This is where you can set the location of your colon alignment.
  8. Type in the number of inches or centimeters where you want your text to align on the colon. For example, if you want your text to align on the colon at 2 inches from the left margin, type "2" in the "Tab stop position" box.
  9. In the "Alignment" section, choose "Center" or "Right" depending on where you want your text to align in relation to the colon.
  10. Click "Set" and then "OK" to close the "Tabs" dialog box.
  11. Your text should now be aligned on the colon according to the tab stop you set. If you need to adjust the alignment, simply go back to the "Tabs" dialog box and make changes as needed.

I hope this helps you align your itinerary on the colon in Microsoft Word!
