Alignment Tabs AutoText Holder Add-In

Charles Kenyon	Version 23.1

Purpose

This Template Add-In Provides AutoText for Word’s Alignment Tabs – It works on the Mac version.

The control to insert such tabs is available in the Header/Footer tab of Windows versions of Word (beginning with Word 2007) but as of 2023, not available in the Mac.

The Headers and Footers in this template demonstrate the use of these Alignment Tabs.

This Add-In was constructed in response to this question on the Microsoft Answers forum asking about getting such tabs in the Mac version..

How to Use

This template should be saved in the Word Startup Folder.

It contains AutoText entries for the Center Alignment Tab and the Right Alignment Tab. When this is saved in the Startup Folder, the AutoText will be available in all Word documents and templates. It will be a Global Template.

The names of the AutoText entries are:

tacAlignCenterTab	Center Alignment Tab

talAlignLeftTab	Left Alignment Tab (I have yet to find a use for this.)

tarAlignRightTab	Right Alignment Tab

If you type the first four characters of the AutoText entry name and press the F3 key (Fn+F3 on many computers) it will insert the Appropriate alignment tab. You can also reach them by using the AutoText menu and choosing it.
