Leslie Richelle Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Might have found a little tab bug. In the facing-pages master page below I have a center tab set to the left of the book title (blurred so no-one can steal my ineffably creative idea) and to the right of the page number. The available space is 4.25" and the tab is set at 2.125. But the title text is not centered. So I entered a right tab to the right of the title, at 4.25", and it worked out fine. Is it me, or should this be an unnecessary step to make a center tab work? While on the subject: it would be convenient to have little rulers appear over the text when setting tabs, instead of one's having to peer at the main rulers and attempt to do higher math.

walt.farrell Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Rather than using a center tab, wouldn't it be simpler to just center-align the text?

Wosven Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Hi, Usually the text should be left align for tabs to work fine. If it was center aligned, the center tab won't work as expected, the text being centered at the right of the tab. And you can show/hide the Frame text ruler with this button (sometimes hidden on small screens) Edited December 30, 2018 by Wosven Added screenshot Quote
Leslie Richelle Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 Well, well. Nice, straightforward way to handle the text ruler. I was hunting around in Tab menus. Too much time spent laboring in InDesign, I guess. flookoco 1 Quote Beginning to believer be, in all things Affinity.
