Set tab size in Microsoft Word

32

For some reason, on a document I have, the size of a tab has been reduced to almost nothing. This means that it is hard to determine the indentation level of a line. Is there anyway to change the sizes of the tabs for this section of the document?

Right-click on your document and then click "Paragraph".

Click the "Tabs..." button (bottom left).

Then change the "Default tab stops" (top right).

If you want to set the size of a tab as a certain number of spaces then Microsoft Word 2010 doesn't do it.

Of course, why would it? – samis – 2017-03-30T18:04:41.200
