The
same
thing
can
occur
with
a
normal
indent when
you
move the
left
margin
far
enough
to
the
right.
When
the
indent
gets
within two
characters
of
the
right
margin
it
stops.
As
the
left margin continues
to
move
to the
right,
the
distance between the
left
margin
and the indent begins
to
shrink. Eventually
the left margin and the indent will
coincide two
characters
to
the
left of
the
right
margin.
Neither
the
left
margin nor
the
indent
can get closer than
two
characters
from
the
right
margin.
Similarly
the
right
margin
cannot
be
moved closer than
two
characters to
the
right
of
the
indent or
the
left
margin.

Setting Tabs
[SET/CLEAR
TAB]
allows
you to
set
new
tab stops on the
ruler or
clear
(remove) old
ones.
When you hold
[USE FRONT] and
press
[SET/CLEAR
TAB], the
set
line
ap-
pears at the present cursor
position.
Pressing
a LEAP key
moves
the set line a
character
position
at
a
time
in
the
direction indicated by
the
LEAP
key.
Holding
the
LEAP
key down
engages
autorepeat.
Pressing
[SPACE BAB]
moves the
set
line from
tab stop
to
tab stop,
left
to
right.
When the
set
line
reaches the last
tab
stop
on
the
right,
it
starts
over
at the
leftmost
tab
stop.
Holding
[SPACE BAR]
engages autorepeat.
Setting and Clearing
When
the
set
line
is
in
the desired
position,
you
can press
[SET/CLEAR TAB] to get
a
new
tab stop
or clear
an
old
one.
To clear
a
tab
means
to
eliminate
it from
the
ruler.
There
are
two
types
of
tab stops:
normal (for
left-justified
columns
of
words) and
decimal
(for right-justified
col-
umns
of
words
or
numbers aligned along
their
decimal
points).
The type
of
tab stop
you
get when
you
press
[SET/CLEARTAB] depends on
whetherthere
is
already
atab
stop at the
location
ofthe
set
line:
EE@tr@E|
Pressing
[sET/cLEAR/TAB]
With
tab stop:
Clear,
Normal, Decimal,
Clear...
Without tab
stop: Normal, Decimal, Clear, Normal...
Thus
if
there
is
a
tab stop,
pressing
[SET/CLEAR
TAB]
clears
it.
Ifthere
is
no tab stop,
pressing
[SET/CLEAR
TAB] creates
a
normal
tab. The
cycle
of
"normal,
decimal, clear"
repeats
as
you continue to
press
ISET/CLEAR TAB].
