In Word 2003 I set the tabs and after I use the tab key once or twice the
tab marker disappears. I set tabs on the ruler and tried in the Format >Tab
dialog box. Even click Set > Okay but the tab marks don't stay put. What am
I missing? TIA

Note that tab stops are paragraph formatting. If want to set tabs for
several existing paragraphs, you must select them first--or set the tab
stops in the appropriate paragraph style instead.

On the other hand, if you press Enter in a paragraph with tab stops, they
will be transferred to the newly created paragraph.

No. But it started to work and don't really know how or why. Thanks for the
reply.

Thanks for the input and the link. Don't know what happened but tabs are now
working properly. However, I will read and digest the article in case the
problem comes back.
