By using tab-stops in your document, you can create uniformly spaced text. And, unlike if you were to just enter a bunch of spaces to separate text, tabs ensure your text remains properly aligned. Each time you press the Tab key, the cursor moves to the next tab-stop. By default, Docs has left tab-stops set at every half-inch, but you can create your own tab-stops in a specific position or change the location of the existing tab stops.
If the position isn't quite right, you can drag the tab-stops to move them.
Select the text you want to reposition.
Click and drag a tab-stop on the ruler to reposition it.
As you drag a tab-stop to a new position on the ruler, the text affected by that tab-stop will move with it.
Click and drag a tab-stop off the ruler to remove it.
Removing a tab-stop will shift the text over to the next tab-stop. If another tab-stop isn’t set, the text will instead use the default half-inch tab spacing.
