How to drag tabs on ruler in smaller increments (1/16" vs 1/8")?
I want to change the default minimum increment for dragging/moving tabs along
the ruler. It's currently set to 1/8" increments, and I want to shorten it to 1/16" increments |

You can drag to exact locations if you press Alt while dragging.

I don't know if you can do that specifically, but if you hold the Alt key
while you drag it, you'll have more control. ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com Check out the NEWsgroup stats!

It's currently set to 1/8" increments, and I want to shorten it to 1/16" increments Suzanne and Ann told you about dragging with the Alt key down, but there is a more permanent way. The tab-dragging increments are governed by the horizontal setting of the drawing grid. Display the Drawing toolbar, click Draw Grid, and set the horizontal spacing to 0.0625". The grid doesn't have to be displayed to affect the tab increments. The other oddity is that if you go back to that dialog or to the Format Tabs dialog, the setting will be shown as 0.06" (the display always rounds to the nearest 0.01"). The extra decimal places are remembered and used, though. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
