In-Depth Information
When a text frame has an insertion point and enough space at the top, the Tabs
panel snaps to the top of the frame so that the measurements in the panel's ruler
exactly match the text. Regardless of the position of the Tabs panel, you can enter
values to set tabs with precision.
5.
In the Tabs panel, click Left-Justified Tab ( ). This specifies that text aligns to the
left of the tab stop.
6.
Type
5p5
in the X box, and press Enter or Return.
The information following each tab marker in the selected text now aligns to the new tab
stop, which is positioned just above the ruler in the Tabs panel.
7.
With the text still selected and the Tabs panel still open, click the new tab stop in
the tab ruler to select it. Type a period (.) and a space in the Leader box.
The Leader box specifies the character or characters that fill the space between the
text and the tab stop. Tab leaders are commonly used in tables of contents. Using a
space between periods creates a more open dot sequence in the tab leader.
8.
Press Enter or Return to apply the tab leader. Leave the Tabs panel open and in po-
sition for the next exercise.
