If you simply define a tab, it applies only to the paragraph you're in. If
you want it to apply throughout, you make it part of the style definition.

The default has tabs every 1/2" but I got rid of all of them, and I made
one
on my own - at 2.75" from the left margin. I'm typing a letter, and
that's
where I put my address, date...

Anyway, when I finished the letter, I clicked the tab to type in the
"sincerely yours" but it doesn't work. And I noticed that the black L on
the
top ruler (the tab) isn't there...(and there's no 2.75" tab listed in the
tab
editing window).

The tab only appears when I'm up at the top of the letter.

I did use some numbered indents and bullet points in the letter. They
don't
cancel out the tab, do they? (it's a 6 page letter).

So how the heck do you set a tab that STAYS there during the ENTIRE
document?

Thanks.
