Word 2013 Ruler tabs not functioning
This is a recent occurence began maybe 2 weeks ago was functioning fine before. When I open a new Word document, or open an old Word doc the tabs on the Ruler are not functioning.
I cannot set indentations or take any action? I can see the Rulers both horizontal and vertical and I can see the tabs on the top Ruler (horizontal) but nothing happens when I try to drag a tab. This is crazy MADDENING for me. Help |

I have no trouble setting tabs within the indents on the ruler in Word 2013. Outside the indents can't be done. If this is giving you problems, as a diagnostic I suggest starting Word in Safe mode. Hold the Ctrl key down while starting Word, wait with it down, then release and a query will come up.

Yes these tabs are within the indents. See image - tabs not working in ANY Word docs, new or old. (How do I upload image from my computer not from URL ?

(Safe mode is a diagnostic, not a way to use Word.) Try uploading the document here (after removing any confidential or proprietary information). How to attach a screenshot or file in this forum. By the way, your right indent is outside your right margin. |

Can you move them using the paragraph formatting dialog box (indents) or the tabs dialog box?
Just suggesting as a workaround until we can figure out what is happening. |

1) Opened Word in Safe Mode - no change
2) Yes I can move indents using the Indents dialogue box 3) I have uploaded the document |

I'm sorry to report that I have no trouble with moving indents or tabs in your document using Word 2013.
