Inserting and Editing Tab Stops

On the horizontal ruler you can see the tab stops for the current paragraph. If you want to change the tab stops, you should first consider the scope to which you want to change tab stops as follows:

• Change the default tab stops for all documents: Use the menu - LibreOffice Writer - General.

• Change the tab stops for all paragraphs using the current Paragraph Style: Right-click the paragraph to open the context menu, choose Edit Paragraph Style, click Tabs.

• एक या अधिक अनुच्छेद के टैब रोक को बदलने के लिए: अनुच्छेद को चुनें, फिर मापनी के अंदर क्लिक करें.

ऊपर दिए गए सभी कार्यों के लिए निर्देश आपको नीचे मिलेंगे.

You can set a tab stop by clicking on the ruler or by selecting Format - Paragraph - Tabs. Both methods affect the current paragraph or all selected paragraphs.

Click the ruler once to set a left-justified tab. Right-click a tab icon on the ruler to see the context menu in which you can change the tab type.

To set several decimal tabs one after the other, keep clicking the icon to the left of the ruler until the desired tab type is shown, then click on the ruler.

Double-click the ruler to open the Paragraph dialog.

Double-click the white area of the ruler to set one tab. The Paragraph dialog appears with the Tabs tab page open.

मापनी पर टैब को खिसकाना

• माउस के जरिए मापनी पर प्रत्येक टैब रोक को खिसकाना.

• To move several tab stops on the ruler, press the Shift key before you click a tab. Drag one tab while continuing to press Shift to move that tab as well as all the tabs to the right of it. The spacing between those tabs remains the same.

• Press when you drag a tab on the ruler to move that tab and all the tabs to the right of it. This results in the spacing between those tabs changing proportionally to their distance from the margin.

टैब के गुणों को बदलना

टैब क़िस्म को बदलने के लिए, मापनी पर बदलने हेतु टैब को क्लिक करें, फिर कॉन्टेक्स्ट मेन्यू को खोलने के लिए दायाँ क्लिक करें.

टैब मिटाना

किसी टैब को मिटाने के लिए, टैब को मापनी से बाहर खींचकर ले जाते समय माउस बटन को दबाकर रखें.

The context menu of the ruler allows you to change the displayed units of measurement. These changes are only valid until you exit LibreOffice, and they only apply to the ruler on whose context menu you made the change. If you want to change the ruler measurement units permanently, choose Tools - Options - [Document type] - View and change the measurement unit there.
