If you insert tab-stops where you want them, the default tabs cease to apply and, instead of having multiple tabs that can get pushed out of position, you need only have the one pertaining to your tab-stop.

Thanks for the help! Setting the tabs where I want them does indeed stop the movement of other information on the same line. I also discovered one can set
individual tabs for each line and they all hold.
Many thanks for the help.
