A better strategy is to define tabs for the paragraph style. Refer to Chapters 6 and 7
for more about paragraph styles.
Tip
Using tabs to space out material on a page is not recommended.
Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, a table is usually a
better choice.
Changing the default tab stop interval
Note
Any changes to the default tab setting will affect the existing default
tab stops in any document you open afterward, as well as tab stops you
insert after making the change.
To set the measurement unit and the spacing of default tab stop intervals, go to Tools
> Options > OpenOffice.org Writer > General.

You can also set or change the measurement unit for rulers in the current document
by right-clicking on the ruler to open a list of units, as shown in Figure 73. Click on
one of them to change the ruler to that unit. The selected setting applies only to that
ruler.

Formatting characters
You can apply many formats to characters using the buttons on the Formatting
toolbar. Figure 74 shows the Formatting toolbar as a floating toolbar, customized to
show only the buttons for character formatting.
It is highly recommended that you use character styles rather than manually
formatting characters. For information on styles and how to use them, see Chapters 6
and 7.
