AbiWord (1.02) does something else.

If for example, you fix a tabulator at 2 in and the tab stop at 0.5 in, y=
ou=20
get in AbiWord: 2in, 2.5in, 3in, 3.5in and so on. So after the last expli=
cit=20
tabulator, you use again the tab stop value.

As far as I remember this was the behaviour of old MS Word versions.

Always using the tab stop, even when they are still tabulators available,=
 is=20
in my opinion not good. Or how do you do the classical headers/footers in=
=20
three parts (left/center/right)?

Have a nice day/evening/night!
