It won't vanish for the next line, I think - but it will apply only
to the current paragraph. So if your "lines" were separated by
pressing Enter, so that each line is a separate paragraph, this will
indeed happen. The simple solution, of course, is to set up the tab
stop before you enter the text. Even if you then press Enter, new
paragraphs will inherit the tab stop from the previous one.
I have so far written all the items that i want on the left hand
side of the page, now when i do as you said for writing the page
numbers that tab remains for only that line where my cursor was, as
soon as i move to next line the tab seems to vanish.
Two alternative ways around this:
o Select all your material before you insert and configure the tab
stop. Then it will apply to each of your selected paragraphs.
o Select all the material and use Find & Replace, searching for $
and replacing it with \n . This has the effect of deleting and
replacing each paragraph break in turn, so that each paragraph
inherits the tab stop from the previous one. That's the same as
going through line by line, deleting each paragraph break and
pressing Enter to insert it again - but more easily!
I trust this helps.
