Quickly Displaying the Tabs Dialog Box
Summary: Want a quick way to jump to the Tabs dialog box so you can modify the tabs in a paragraph? All you need to do is double-click at the bottom of the ruler, as described in this tip. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
A handy shortcut to quickly display the Tabs dialog box (Click here to see a related figure.) is to double-clock on the ruler just below the markings which appear there. Make sure you double-click at the bottom of the ruler, not at the top. (If you double-click at the top, the Page Setup dialog box appears.)
You should note that when you double-click on the ruler, you may also inadvertently set a tab stop. If you want to delete the newly placed tab stop, you can do so at the Tabs dialog box.
Tip #994 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 2000 2002 2003
