Format > Tabs (via Letter Writer)

A tab is a pre-defined horizontal space between text entries in your letter. Rather than spacing text across the page by repeatedly tapping the space bar, it is more efficient to add tabs via the Tab key; tabs keep text perfectly aligned in columns, whereas using the space bar to position text in columns may result in uneven columns when printed because of the proportional spacing characteristics of most fonts.
