Word: adding tabs to a heading style
Hi,
Im trying to figure out how I can make a heading style and create some tabs for that style. For example I might use a heading style for a meeting report, with the meeting name, and date, and I want the date in the same place each time I use that style. Im using Word 2016 for mac thanks dan |

You can add tab-stops to a Style, but you can't add tab characters.

How do I add tab stops to a style?

Via Format>Tabs in the 'Modify Style' dialogue box.

Probably more useful than a style would be an AutoText Entry perhaps with MacroButton Fields at the spot where you want to enter the information.

An AutoText entry can contain Content Controls or Macrobutton fields to prompt for the needed information. The tab stops or a table would still need to be part of this for positioning.

So, it's not "more useful than a style". Rather, it's something that might be used in conjunction with one … . This is especially so if the OP's Heading is to appear in a Table of Contents.

I can't figure out what to do in the Modify Style format tab dialog box. I don't understand what I need to do to add a tab stop. there is a box "Tab stops:" which is an empty text box. not sure what to do there

You use that dialogue box the specify the tab attributes - position, left/right/centre etc., leaders. The empty box is where you type the number of in/cm or whatever units you're using for the tab-stop position.
