Tab Stops Incorrect

[Linda]

On several of my documents, I am unable to set tab stops
at certain intervals. For instance, I try to click on
the .5" mark to place a tab and it actually puts it in
at .58". I am unable to drag it back over to the half
inch mark, however, I am able to double-click on it to
correct it but I don't understand what is causing the
problem in the first place. Any ideas?

Linda,

Could be "snap objects to grid" is set.
View>Toolbars>Drawing. Click the Draw menu and then grid
to view/change the setting.

You can usually get precise control of postioning the TABs
if you hold down the ALT key while placing with the mouse.

Thank you! Worked like a charm.
