Setting tab stops in label doc.

[Trev]

I am trying to set tab stops in a label document. When I have the tab set
and press the tab key the tab goes to the tab default between the labels and
not the tab stop I set. What step am I missing?

Because labels are set up in a table, you have to use Ctrl+Tab to insert a
tab character. The Tab key without the Ctrl just goes to the next cell of
the table (as in all tables).
