Word 2010 section specific tab settings
I have a long Word 2010 document and have a need to have different tab settings in two sections of the document. So far my attempts have resulted in only being able to set global tabs. Is there any way to set tabs settings for only one section of the document? Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 09-24-2016 at 09:07 AM. Reason: Mark as solved |

No, this cannot be done. On the other hand, different tab settings for different paragraphs is easily done using Styles. You can use one (set of) Style(s) in one Section and another in a different Section. (The capitalized words are Word jargon.)

My tab problem
To solve my problem I ended up abandoning tabs and using spaces.
For those interested I have a 126 page Word document that contains names in the text with the first name first. In doing an index I ended up with a 13 page index sorted by first name when I wanted my index sorted by last name. To accomplish the resorting of the index I copied it to Excel and ended up with the first name, last name and all page numbers for each line of the index in different cells. I then sorted the index in Excel with the last name as the primary sort column and the first name as the secondary sort column. When I copied the resulting index back into Word all the page information was separated by tabs resulting in too much space between the page numbers in the index. I solved the page number spacing problem by concatenating all the page numbers on each line with spacing between each page number. I then copied the index with the concatenated page numbers into word over the word generated index. |
