With the cursor on any position in the line of style €œFigure€�, I need to be
able to hit the tab key and have a left-tab inserted two positions to the
right of the cursor.

For example, a title of €œFigure 1-1. Sample title.€� is to be built by typing:

"Figure 1-1.", + the tab key after the period, + €œSample title.€�

Note: no other style besides Figure is to be changed. The Figure style
will be used in conjunction with the Table of Figures style where the tab is
picked up for special formatting.

You can set a tab stop in the Caption style (or whatever else you use for
figure captions), but it must be in a specific (not relative) position.
