On the computer keyboard, there is a TAB key used to move the mouse cursor to a default distance. In Word, the software allows users to change this distance as desired by using multiple TAB keys or adjusting the format spacing in the TAB dialog box.
Exploring TABs in Word
Whether you are using any version of Word, the process of setting TABs is the same. By default, when you open a new blank document, there are no TAB stops on the ruler. However, TAB is default set to space at half an inch (about 1.27cm) intervals.
Select the TAB located at the far left of the ruler.
If your Word doesn't show the ruler, you can go to the View (1) tab => click the checkbox next to Ruler
There are various types of TAB buttons, and you can choose the stops that suit your needs.
Setting TAB Marks
Step 1: To quickly set a TAB stop, first click on the TAB stop (small box at the far left of the ruler) to select the desired TAB stop.
Step 2: Left-click on the position where you want to set the TAB distance on the ruler.
Step 3: Place the cursor before the desired position and press the TAB key on the keyboard.
The result is a paragraph indented according to the TAB stop position.
How to Remove TABs in Word
Step 1: Mark or select the text that needs TAB removal. Note that you must correctly choose the text using TAB to make the TAB marks visible.
Step 2: Click on the TAB icon and drag it out of the ruler position, then release the mouse. The TAB mark will disappear.
