Tabs keep disappearing
In Word 2003 I set the tabs and after I use the tab key once or twice the
tab marker disappears. I set tabs on the ruler and tried in the Format Tab dialog box. Even click Set Okay but the tab marks don't stay put. What am I missing? TIA Stan |

Are you using decimal tab stops? ----------------------------------------------------- On Tue, 13 May 2008 02:04:57 -0400, Stan wrote: In Word 2003 I set the tabs and after I use the tab key once or twice the tab marker disappears.

No. But it started to work and don't really know how or why. Thanks for the
reply. Stan "Robert" wrote in message ...

Note that tab stops are paragraph formatting. If want to set tabs for
several existing paragraphs, you must select them first--or set the tab stops in the appropriate paragraph style instead. On the other hand, if you press Enter in a paragraph with tab stops, they will be transferred to the newly created paragraph.

Thanks for the input and the link. Don't know what happened but tabs are now
working properly. However, I will read and digest the article in case the problem comes back. Stan "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Note that tab stops are paragraph formatting.
