Set a default tab (ruler-bar) for this and all new documents. By default, tab stops are every 1/2 inch -- which is too wide. Set the tab-settings every 1/4" inch. This also sets a handy Margin Release. This same screen can set a default font, widows and orphans, and other default settings.

7. Click box [x] Repeat every .25 (point 25)
8. Click "Set", then Close.
(Note in the Reveal Codes a new "TabSet". There should only be one TabSet code; delete any duplicates or older codes you may find before making the new tab-setting.) Also Recommended:

Margin Release Example:
Notice how tab stops are set 1/2" to the left of the Left margin (-.5) -- this is called a "Margin Release." Often, in a paper, a Hanging Header is needed. With this setting, you can quickly type a bolded title that "sticks out past the margin" without having to fiddle with the ruler-bar or with margins.

- At the beginning of a paragraph, press Shift-Tab to hang the heading. Press shift-tab a second time to go one more stop to the left.
