How to Right Align Text Outside the Page Margin
I am trying to right align text outside of the right margin set for the body text in the same paragraph.
I have tried setting the right indent at 2cm from the 16cm right margin and have set a right aligned tab at 16cm but the right aligned text will align only at the right indent; ie: aligned with the body text at 14cm. Please can anyone help with this. Thanks in anticipation. Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 10-13-2015 at 11:15 AM. Reason: Mark as solved |

Word 2013 (with at least the June update) will honor right tab stops outside the right indent but not outside the right margin. You may have to use the Tabs dialog box to set these. I believe it will treat right tab stops set outside the margin as being at the margin.
Also, if you save your document in .doc format you can then set the tabs as you could in earlier versions. It will also work in Word 2010 compatibility mode but I'm not sure how to save in that mode. Below is a screen shot of a Word 2013 document - a new document, not in compatibility mode, showing the ruler. |

I've updated my chapter on basic formatting -Working with Tabs to include this screen shot and workaround.
