hello there guys welcome to daves easy
tutorials
this video is still under paragraph
formatting but we cover in the tab
section now before we cover the top
section and show you how to set the tabs
and things like that
i first need to discuss with you what
type of tabs that you use within the
word and what the main basically now the
tabs that you set first of all you must
have your ruler showing so you literally
come to this little button here and turn
your rule is alt now all varia in the
left corner you will see what we call
the tab selector that is this area and
each time I click on that tab select to
notice the style of tab is changing and
it changes around each term now the type
of tabs there is going to usually by
default it's this one here now it looks
like Al that is what we call a left tab
now you know what you see it up for your
little picture in with the left tab that
is a left tab now a left tab
I've set a blocky ER notice this first
habia is set and all the words in this
column of data notice they are all
aligned on the left side that's why that
is referred to as a left tap the next
tableau come to is the center tab now
the center tab is all the words in this
column asset in the center look so it's
all in the center because there's the
center tab the next one is what we call
a right tab backwards L
this one here is at el tap that upset
and notice all the words in this 1a
relying to the left side of the word
then the next one that you've got is a
decimal tab now / iya i have set a
decimal tab and notice all the decimal
points are in line and that is the type
of tabs and this one ear notice is what
we refer to as a bar tab now a bar tab
simply puts a line there's the first one
is about of there's a second line
there's a bar table there there's a
third line for backup and there's the
line there
so basically it looks like it's colored
off with lines here in the table but
that is because I've used a bar tab so
just to reiterate what would take what
talking with the tabs you've got a left
app which aligns all the words on the
left side of the word you've got a
center tab which aligns all the words in
the center
you've got a right tab which is all
aligned on the right-hand side you've
got a decimal tab which Alliance all the
decimal numbers then you've got a bat
app which puts a line down each column
of data if you like like that
yeah and then when you continue to turn
this around you'll see that's the first
line indent and then you've got a
hanging indent now what I will say about
the indents 'as go and check me on the
video out paragraph format in line
spacing and paragraph and indentation
and you'll understand the intense from
that previous video capturing urea i'm
showing you the media because the hour
on that top selector and you can set
them from here just as quick so it's
quite nice and easy now set it where
you've got to understand about tabs is
yes
at tabs per paragraph so when i turn the
little shown hide on and on the I want
you to nauty's naughty see ya nour taps
then you come down to here which is the
first paragraph they've got tabs on and
then you'll continue down here and the
tabs will continue all the way down each
line as we come down and then no.20 nor
tabs again because i only need the tabs
on that block of text so what I do is I
use the tabs that I want to do when I'm
finished and i'm finished with the tabs
and I'm not going to write any more
texts i just remove the tabs now I just
do control q and that does get rid of
like all of all gone because I'm an
experienced user but if you can remember
that all you do you just go to that
bottom half of that ruler and you just
double click it and that would bring the
dialog box up if you can't remember that
you just bring the dialog box up and say
taps and then it comes up here and then
you just circle your all and then ok and
what happens is it removes all the tabs
and then you can continue your document
and put normal blocks of text and
everything else but there's more tabs on
it so you don't need to now set in the
tabs couldn't be easier
all you do is you set the tab type that
you want
ok so let's say that I want to center
tab for instance and and I'm just gonna
get rid of the service nor confusion
basically night so from here I want two
different setups on a setup
now i'm going to set the tab at to
notice all i do is point to the bottom
half of the ruler and click and then I
want one at six
click and then I want one at ten and
there you go
I've got the three tab set if I don't
want 1 i've made a mistake oh I didn't
want that one
I just click on it drop it off it's gone
likewise a little click drag it off its
off click drag it off its off
it's that simple so as easy as that is
you just select the type of tab that you
want left tap I want a left tab 3 and
then I want to write tab imagine and i
want to write a bit 7
yeah well I didn't want it on seven I
want to do Thanh Nien so you just drag
it to the low or you can simply just
pull it off and reset it to wherever you
want as long as you stay in the bottom
half of this ruler you can click and set
what you want now if you don't like that
method and you want to set a tab through
the dialog box you go to the Home tab
you go to the paragraph group you bring
up the dialog box and then in the bottom
left you'll see tabs you click on tabs
that brings you this little dialog box
up now what you can set a year you can
set these that what you want
yeah so you can see two centimeters yeah
and then you set atop to send to me too
i want to send to tab set and no to seal
proton two centimeters then he can see
four centimeters centimeters
I want to write up yeah and then you say
set and then you can see at eight
centimeters
I want to decimal tab for instance set
now if you make a mistake and you don't
the Far you just click the far and so
clear and that will just clear that one
tap if you see a clear all it will clear
all the tops real straightforward stuff
now just to show you how to sound clear
of them just to show you this watch this
imagine that i'm going to set a right
tub and I want to set the right Tab 4
centimeters so far sentiment that want
to set the right up then at five
centimeters hope sorry
it would help if i set it does to come
in this box underneath to be set now
what five centimeters
I want to left up so five centimeters
left tab set and then urge will go up
for training I think you will go over 14
14 centimeters
I want another right tab and I said that
as well now from the five centimeters to
the 14 I want a dotted line there
yeah so what I'll do is I'll set to tab
leader what we call at a bleeder of
number two but I could say number three
which is a dashed line and I could say
that before which is a dead straight
line but these are like little tab
leaders that phone books you so you'll
have a name and then you have a dotted
line over to the number and then it's so
your eyes will follow it to the correct
number save the printer on the paper and
we say okay now or did you set that last
one a better set to on
yeah that's it and we say okay now watch
this if i say for instance David
we developed for the press tab so tab
another said David and then i'll type of
present one many guys because I put that
on the wrong one the tab leader
paragraph now I've put that tab leader
on the hunt say i don't want one-on-one
go to be that 114 tablet the to set so
I'm just really really just in it is
pretty straight forward to it really
just now then on this one of my name and
then notice there's eat a bleeder gone
over to them now imagine there i'm just
going to make a that's for number
imagine then I come down here and then
i'll just see
yeah notice again
oh and then you go again
now if i turn the show and hide off you
can see now how its setting up
yeah so these is fantastic really simple
easy not you know real straightforward
stuff and then I just took numbers into
not real numbers now once I've made my
list and i'm happy with them i just
press our I don't want anymore no tease
this little feller area is now flashing
with tabs on you just do control q i'll
click that little button there
I don't control you but now there's no
tabs on this paragraph here and now from
this point onwards I come down there is
