how do I right flush part of a single line

[Joe Matthews]

In wordPerfect, if I want to hard right flush PART of a single line of text,
I simply hit alt-F7.

How do I do that in MS Word 2003

Thanks

Microsoft Word is very different from WordPerfect in this and many
other respects.

In Word, you set a tab stop at the right margin (most easily by
clicking in the ruler), and type a tab character before the part of
the text that you want to be flush right. There is no single keystroke
to do this.

To be precise, there is no way to set a tab stop "at the right margin" in
Word. What you can do is set a tab stop at the same distance as the right
margin - however, if you change the margin, the tab stop does not move.

That's true. And unfortunate. The saving grace is that most people never
change their margins.

In Word 2007 (and I assume in Word 2010), you can in fact set an "alignment
tab" that will move if the margins change.

Yes, Word 2010 continues to offer the alignment tab.

How does one set this "alignment tab"?
