How to Adjust Tabs in Adobe InDesign

‍

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to adjust tabs in Adobe InDesign:

‍

1. To adjust tabs, prepare your list, menu, form, or table in InDesign without using the Table tool. Then place your cursor between the last letter and the text you want to align, and press the Tab key on your keyboard to insert a tab space.
2. Highlight all the text, then go to the top menu bar.
3. Click 'Type' → 'Tabs' to open the Tabs panel.
4. Once the panel opens, position it above the text frame, then click the 'Magnet' icon on the right side of the panel.
5. Choose a tab alignment (Left, Center, or Right), then drag the tab marker on the ruler to align the highlighted text.
6. Confirm the text alignment to ensure the tabs were applied successfully.
