Default How do I drag and drop tabs exactly onto the ruler divisions

The ruler in Word 2003 displays inches subdivided into eighths (or
centimetres subdivided into quarters). When working with 'inch' rulers, if I
try to drag tabs onto the subdivisions they will only place at the following
intervals: 0", 0.05", 0.11", 0.16", 0.22", 0.27" and so on, neatly missing
almost all the ruler subdivisions! There is a similar effect if the ruler is
set to centimetres. I can't even drag and drop onto the whole inch divisions!

Of course, I can place the tabs accurately using the Format/Tabs dialogue,
but when creating complex tabs on multiple lines I really want to be able to
drag and drop tabs onto the ruler subdivisions without having to open the
tabs folder for every darned tab.

Interestingly, in word 2002, tabs can be dragged and dropped onto the inch
subdivisions (but still not onto the centimetre subdivisions!)

Is it possible to configure the tab drag and drop interval?
