I've been playing around with some data that I have in a text document.
It is about 40 pages long. If I select the entire document I am not able
to set the tabs. I began experimenting and found that I am able to
select about half of the document before I lose access to changes on the
tab ruler. The tabs just disappear and I can't set any. Is this a bug, a
limitation, or am I doing something wrong?
You can overcome this problem by setting the tabs in the paragraph
styles.
Thank you. That works. It that a known problem?
If you want to know the reason for the behavior, you probably need to
ask on the dev mailing list. Off hand, I would guess that if you
checked, you probably have something in particular around the spot where
you lose the ability that triggers the behavior. For example, while
writing macros, if I select a section of text, I can set properties. If
I a particular property contains different values in the selected area,
then I can not set the property. More concretely, if I have the
following text:
<bold>hello you</bold> big person
If I select all of the text in a macro, I probably can not set the font
weight to be bold for the entire section at once. I need to break up the
selection. I do not remember which properties exhibit this behavior.
Also, in your selection, do you include any sections, frames, tables,
etc.... This may also cause a problem from a tabs perspective.
