How do I insert a hard tab?
I used to be a Word Perfect user....The function key I used then for a hard
tab was Alt-f7. All the text following this hard tab would automatically indent to the same tab setting until I hard returned. I need a place to ask these simple questions that really irritate you when you are trying to learn a new program... |

How do I insert a hard tab?
If you are wanting to inset text, there are various ways to do this. One is
to use the Format | Paragraph menu and select the amount of the inset. There are also buttons on the ruler to indent and decrease indent. If you want a keyboard method, hold down the Ctrl key and strike the M key (you can do this more than once for larger indents). Does this help? -- Rae Drysdale "Perfect to Word" wrote: I used to be a Word Perfect user....The function key I used then for a hard tab was Alt-f7.

How do I insert a hard tab?
Rae,
That works if I just want to set an indent, but I want to set a hard tab that goes away when I do a return to start a new paragraph. It looks like I'll just have to do a few more keystokes while I'm formatting my documents... Thank you for your quick response.

Ctrl+Shift+M will remove the indent. But you'd be much better advised to use
specific styles for these paragraphs. -- Suzanne S.

Create a paragraph style with a first line indent.

How do I insert a hard tab?
Hi there,
Not sure which version of WordPerfect you used, but in WP 12 Alt + F7 gives you flush right. If, instead, you are referring to Ctrl + F7, that gives you a hard tab which is MS Word speak is a hanging indent. You can either click on Format (or highlight the paragraph and right-click and select paragraph) and paragraph and under indentation, where it says Special select Hanging. You can select the size of the indentation there. I think there is a "quick key" you can use as well which is Ctrl + T. I hope this has been helpful to you. You can also just move the ruler on your toolbar (the triangle) to the place where you want your hanging indent to begin. -- Carol A.
