How can one insert a tab character into a Calc cell?
Well you can insert one in a way, but as it doesn't do anything in the
cell, there’s not much point in it.
In the expression box you can type
="a" & CHAR(8) & "b" & CHAR(8) & "c"
The expression CHAR(8) represents the tab character. If you move the
cursor off the cell, the full expression appears in the cell as
abc
But if you copy the expression from the cell itself and paste it from
the cell into an editor or word processor it may appear as something like
a[]b[]c
Here [] represents an empty box or some special symbol used in the font
for the tab character. Copy and paste the character into the editor for
a language that can provide the numeric value of a character and it will
confirm that this is character 8. For example, in Basic use something like
? asc("[]")
But this character, when inserted in this way, doesn’t do anything,
whether in most editors or in Calc itself.
Perhaps you might explain what you want to do with this tab character.
