Setting tabs

The Tab key on your keyboard can be used to indent a single line of text or to align columns of text in your Corel WordPerfect for Java documents. Setting tabs gives you additional control over the format and layout of the text and objects in your documents, allowing you to determine the precise movement of your cursor when you press the Tab key.

Note

Tip

wpj00001.gif Instead of adding tabs to each line in a paragraph, you can use the Indent feature to move a complete paragraph one tab stop to the right. Use the Double Indent feature to move an entire paragraph one tab stop from both the left and right margins and the Hanging Indent feature to move all but the first line of a paragraph one tab stop to the right.
