 * Margin How Far as it gone? **

It can be very frustrating when working MS Word's tabs Ensuring that they are placed properly between the margins.

It is easy to get lost in all those eighth of an inch marks or the even more abundant millimetres.

Before you click on the tab stop to move it, hold down the **Alt key**. With just that one extra key, you'll turn your usual display of tab stops Into a clean display

What it does is to make it an easy to read placement guide for your tabs. (The tab stop clicked is 2.5" from the left margin and 4" from the right margin).

In place of the ruler, you'll be able to read the distance the tab's current position is from the left and right margins, which allows for an exact placement.

While holding the Alt key down, drag the tab stop back and forth across the ruler. You'll find that the measurements adjust to your every move.

No more getting lost trying to count the millimetres, centimetres or a fraction of an inch.
