Tab stops are only allowed in text objects. Therefore this button is not displayed in

table objects.

 

Figure 10.7: Insert tab stop by clicking the button

Since a tab stop is also a character, it must also be enclosed in quotation marks. Alternatively, in this example, you can insert the tab stop with "Insert" to the existing "Invoice date" text.

You create a tab stop with the "Tab" button and you define the position (in mm) and alignment with the "Properties" button.

 

Figure 10.8: Tab properties

Only one tab stop can be inserted on each line. A tab stop causes the preceding text to run only as far as the tab stop. A tab stop that is right aligned will cause the text that follows it to be justified to the right. The distance from the left margin determines the position of the tab stop.
