From: heis on 8 Apr 2010 06:33 Hey, I want to set different tab settings in different sections within a document. So for example, I divide a document into three sections. Can I set different tab setting for those sections? Thanks a lot!
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 8 Apr 2010 11:06 You can set tab stops individually for any given paragraph, but the most efficient method is to define specific paragraph styles that incorporate the desired tab stops and then apply the styles as required. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm for general principles. Keep in mind that, when you set tab stops in a given paragraph, those settings will be maintained in every subsequent paragraph of the same style (created by pressing Enter at the end of the given paragraph). If you want to change the tab settings in existing paragraphs, you must select them first and then set the tab stops on the ruler or through the Tabs dialog. -- Suzanne S.

From: Jerry on 8 Apr 2010 12:23 You can have a different tab setting for every paragraph if you want. There's information on setting tabs in this article: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm However, there are better ways of formatting your paragraphs than tabs. Look into indents and tables, as well. "heis" wrote: > Hey, > I want to set different tab settings in different sections within a document. > So for example, I divide a document into three sections.
