MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / July 2008Tab Spacing Question
Most of the time, when I move tabs around in the horizontal ruler, they detent on the even 1/8 inch marks. Occassionally, though, they like to position themselves between the even 1/8 marks. What causes this, and how can I correct it? Somewhere in a tool bar? Something in my default template? Puzzled Dave Win XP SP2 Office 2003 The ruler spacing is controlled by the drawing grid (on the Drawing toolbar, Draw | Grid | Snap to Grid; the grid interval can be changed as well). You can override the grid by pressing Alt while dragging. By default, however, there are detents every 1/16 inch.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Any way to increase the precision? Dave > Great - Thank you > Dave [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >>> Dave >>> Win XP SP2 Office 2003 Actually, yes. If you enter the grid interval as three decimal places, it will retain that information even though it displays only two. There may be a bit more to it than that, but that's the general idea.
