Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for tabbing text.

You tab text using the Text Ruler.


 * 1) Select a word processor object.
 * 2) Choose Show Text Ruler on the Text menu.
 * 3) Click on the type you want to select, then click under the tick marks on the ruler. Or, you can click on a tab and then drag it into place. You can have multiple tabs for each word processor box up to a maximum of 20.

To remove the ruler, click anywhere outside the word processor box.

The ruler has four different types of tabs: left align, center, right align, and decimal. Left align aligns text at the left margin; center align centers the first line of text but keeps the rest at the left margin; right align aligns text on the right margin; and decimal aligns columns of numbers on their decimal points.
