Moving tab stops

WordPerfect lets you move a tab stop. You can position a tab stop relative to the left margin or from the left edge of a page. You can also move a tab stop or multiple tab stops. As you move a tab stop, you can make it automatically align to the ruler gridlines; this is referred to as snapping.
