As I understand it, it's a survival from DOS days, before the table
feature
was introduced, and was used in conjunction with underlining to create
the
appearance of a ruled table. It can still be used that way (and I
occasionally do so, though using paragraph borders to create the
horizontal
lines). When you set such a tab, the line appears automatically at the
tab
stop position and automatically extends to the height of the paragraph
so
that it is possible to create a continuous vertical line extending
through
one or more paragraphs. I have on occasion used it as a center line to
help
me copy by hand text that I have printed, for example, when I'm
handwriting
formal, centered text such as:

Dr. and Mrs. Matthew Talbot Barnhill, Jr.
accept with pleasure
the kind invitation
of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Doe
for Saturday, the thirtieth of September

and the like.

Thanks Suzanne. Sorry I missed the humor from the signature part but I
trust it is just me being dense today ...
