The "centered" in "centered tab" is about how text is aligned at the tab, not about the tab position in the page -- you can have a centered tab 2cm from the left margin. But yes, it'd be useful to have something like a button to set the position to the middle. (Suggested workaround: deduce text width from the page margins and divide by two. :-) ) > And then, it clears all the tabs to its left, but leaves the ones to > its right, isn't that a bit weird too?

The ones that disappear are the default tabs, which are used when you insert tab characters and there is no tab defined. As you defined a tab, now default tabulations are only needed right to[*] the tab you just added. Think of it as a way to define the "undefined behavior" of what happens when you insert a tab character and there are no (more) tabulations set. [*] or "left to", when writing right-to-left text. > One small step for mankind... ... a giant leap for [a] man? -- Nuno J.
