A left-aligned tab in a centered paragraph formats incorrectly. In the following situation, the tab was expected to move the cursor to the 4-inch mark and give left-aligned text; however, this did not occur:


 * 1) While using the word processor, create a left-aligned tab at 4 inches in a centered paragraph.
 * 2) Type a few words.
 * 3) Press the TAB key.

The text before the tab moves to the left, and the cursor moves beyond the tab stop. As you continue typing, the text moves closer to the tab stop. The tab should move the cursor to the 4-inch mark and allow left-aligned text.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
