A tab is a kind of "jump target" that you can use to position the text cursor at a specific point within a line. Tabs are very useful for tables, for example.
You open the dialog box with the tab settings via the group arrow
in the bottom right corner of the ribbon tab Home | group Paragraph (alternatively, via Layout | group Paragraph). In the dialog box, switch to the Tabs tab.
Alternatively, just click directly on the icon 
under Layout | group Paragraph to open the dialog box.
To work with tabs, two steps are required:
| 1. | First, set the "tab stops" in the Tabs tab. You thus specify where tabs should be located. |
| 2. | Once this is done, you can use the Tab key to insert tabs in the text at any time – that is, to make the text cursor jump to the next tab stop. |
