Setting tabs
You can use tabs to position text in specific horizontal locations in a column or frame. In
the Tabs panel, you can organize text and create tab leaders, indents, and hanging indents.
Aligning text to tabs and adding tab leaders
Here, you'll format the tabbed information in the “If You Go” box on the left-facing page.
The tab markers have already been entered in the text, so you will be setting the final loca-
tion of the text.
Tip
When working with tabs, it helps to view the tab characters by choosing
Type > Show Hidden Characters. It is very common to receive word-pro-
cessing files in which the writer or editor has entered multiple tabs to align
the text onscreen—or worse, entered spaces rather than tabs. The only way
to see what you're dealing with (and fix it) is to view hidden characters.
1.
Scroll and zoom as necessary to view the “If You Go” box.
2.
To view the tab markers in the text, make sure that hidden characters are showing
(Type > Show Hidden Characters) and that Normal Mode ( ) is selected in the
Tools panel.
3.
Using the Type tool ( ), click in the “If You Go” box, and select from the second
line (starting with “Name”) to the last line (ending with “6-8 p.m.).”
4.
Choose Type > Tabs to open the Tabs panel.
