Getting tabs on ruler to line up with set tabs.
Hello Everyone,
By accident posted to the Mac group and was kindly referred this way. http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&cr=&sloc=&p=1 Briefly, I've noticed that when I "click and drag" the margin icon (the downward/upward facing pentagons), I cannot get them to line-up with the tab settings, e.g. on 0.25, 0.5, or 0.75", no matter how carefully I try. The advice to use the Alt key helps, but curious as why this happened, as it appears new to me. Thanks. |

The grid interval of your drawing grid can affect this. How you access this

Getting tabs on ruler to line up with set tabs.
Morning Suzanne,
Thanks for your reply. I'm using MS Office Word 2003. The "issue" is that when I click and drag that little icon/symbol, it falls on either side of whatever tick mark is on the ruler, regardless of the intervals. It appears that I cannot place it precisely where I would like by dragging it. |

If you press Alt while dragging, you can set it exactly. It's not known why

Thanks for that. Didn't know that the "hang" was a known issue.
