Default Issues with Tab size

Dear Friends,



I am going out of my mind and was hoping someone could help me retain my sanity.

I am in a header.

The header is TEXT[tab]TEXT[tab]TEXT (aligned center)

Why in the world is the SECOND tab shorter in horizontal length than the first one?

There are no tab stops.
Both tabs are the same "font" and the same font size.
The default size in the tab settings is 1.5cm

What else could it be? (Matilda Gates taking revenge??

Thank You

Susan

In Word, the header paragraph actually has two custom tab stops, which means that the default tab stops are ignored.

By default, the first custom tab stop is aligned center and the last one (in the right margin) is right-aligned. (The screen shot below shows ruler measurements in centimeters; you may very well see inches instead.)

And the formatting described by Stefan is actually the default header and footer styles. You can modify those if you want.
