Question on tabs

[GACKT]

what does it mean to do this:

create a table, place center tab stops at 1,2.5, 4.25 inches on the ruler.
Enter the word day at the first tab stop, date at the second tab stop, and
time at the third tab stop. Press enter than clear the tab stops. Create a
left tab at 0.75 and 2.25 and a right tab stop at 5.

I do not know how to do the above steps... i would appreciate it if someone
could help me step by step thanks

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm. I can only assume
that "create a table" has nothing to do with the rest of the assignment.
