------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Jun 3 02:12:01 +0000 2009 ------- In .doc format, text with an indent & a tab will progressively move the tab further across the page to the right, by the same width as the indent, every time you edit & save the document. Does not occur in .odt format. a) File -> new text document. b) Add a single indent to the first line (eg. press "Increase indent" button, say this results in a 1cm indent). c) Click on the ruler at the top of the page to add a "left-aligned tab" (eg say at 4.5cm) d) Press tab key to tab across to tab at 4.5cm. e) Type something "hello world" or whatever. f) File -> save as -> MS Word 97/2k/XP (.doc) g) Re-open the .doc h) Add something (eg a space to the end of your text) i) Save & close j) Re-open the .doc & note your "Hello World " is now 1cm further right (5.5cm). The tab marker has moved. k) Repeat steps i & j, watching as your text marches 1cm further across the page each time. Would quickly make a mess of any .doc files, and quickly give a bad rep. for compatibility, so I put it as P1.
