tab stops override the default tabstops. You can use this text box to define the spacing between default tab stops.
As an example. If you enter
1.5
in this text box, and the unit of measure is in centimeters, then the
first default tab stop will be located 1.5 cm to the right of the left margin of the frame. The second default tab stop will be located at 3 cm from the
left margin, etc....
-
Cursor in protected area
