If you need a text object that contains more than 19 tab stops, you can create the tab stops by using Microsoft Word 6.0 or later:


 * 1) Use the Table button in PowerPoint to access the Word table feature. By setting up your data in a table, tabs are not necessary, and there is no maximum number of columns.
 * 2) Create your desired text in Word, where you can set more than 19 tab stops. Copy and paste it onto a PowerPoint slide.
