walt.farrell Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Recipe: Create a new text frame. Say, 4 inches wide, and enable text rulers. Set text alignment to centered and set a tab stop at 2 inches in the Paragraph panel. Type a short text string like (without the quotes, and where <space> is a space character) "x<space>y" and press Enter. Note that the space character is centered. Type another short text string like "x<tab>y". Note that the entire string is left-aligned. The tab distance set in the Paragraph panel does not matter, nor does the alignment set for the tab. The "x" is always left-aligned, though the centering should apply to the complete line. Also, note that the tab character is at 1.5 inches, not the 2 inches specified. pondergeist 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? The tab can have characteristics defined by the Tabstops settings. In that situation, Publisher should know exactly how much space the tab represents, and centering or right-aligning should work just fine. bobr666 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
