How do I nudge text horizontally in small incriments?
What are you doing to get your text *not* lined up in the first place? I'm
afraid it is totally unclear as to what the problem might be. What version of Word are you using? You need to provide much more accurate detail before anyone can offer meaningful suggestions - and keep in mind that Word _does not_ work like QX. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Lorrene" wrote in message ...

How do I nudge text horizontally in small incriments?
I set the tab on the horizontal ruler. I have two horizontal lines with a
dash and a phone number. The dashes and phone numbers are not lined up vertically. Ex: akjdfjjfjfjj - 123-456-7891 kjfdjfkljfk - 234-567-8910 I purposely put the dash in the wrong place in the above example. Now, if I could nudge the text horizonally by half spaces, or less, my document it would look better.

You set the *tab stop* on the ruler. To line up text with that tab
stop, you have to insert *tab characters* in the text by pressing the Tab key before the character you want to line up. In this case, delete any spaces between the word and the dash, and then press the Tab key there.

Thanks Jay,
You have been a great help to me.... I used Word exclusively up until 2001 when I had to learn Quark for a graphics job at a newspaper. I am no longer there and I am having to do similar work with word in my new government job. Thanks again, big time. Lorrene "Jay Freedman" wrote: You set the *tab stop* on the ruler.
