If the horizontal ruler isn’t visible, choose Show Rulers from the View pop-up menu in the toolbar.

Select the text for which you want to set a tab.

If you want to set a tab for a paragraph, put the insertion point anywhere in the paragraph.

To add a tab, click the horizontal ruler and drag the tab symbol where you want it.

Do any of the following:

• Change the way text aligns with the tab: Double-click the tab symbol until it becomes the kind you want (or Control-click the symbol and choose an option from the shortcut menu).

• Add a leader (such as a dotted line) in front of the tab: In the Tabs pane of the Text inspector, select the tab in the Tab Stops list, and choose an option from the Leader pop-up menu.

  If the Tabs pane isn’t visible, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text Inspector button, and click Tabs.

• Delete a tab: Drag it off the ruler.
