I see what you mean with your question now. If you pick up a tab in Word and move it around, Word shows the distances left and right to the margin. I've tried it, but OpenOffice doesn't do that.

If you think it's a feature that needs to be included in OpenOffice in the future you might file an issue for it. Depending on how many other users feel the need to vote in favour of this enhancement, it may get implemented.

Thanks. Are you basically saying, then, that there is _no_ way to do this graphically using the mouse and the ruler?

be able to drag the tab position all over the place when using just
the ruler; then I have to go into Format>Paragraph>Tabs and amend
all tabs/indents and what have you.

I remember in M$ Office the ruler allows you to jump in, say,
increments of .25 of a cm.

Am I missing something?

     If you are not using different styles for different paragraphs,
use Format > Paragraph. Click Tabs (tab). Enter the increment for
your tabs.
