You can organize text into columns by setting tabs in the Tabulation menu. In a text layer, you can also set tab stops to
align text at specific locations in a paragraph.
To access the Tabulation menu:
- Create a text layer.
- In the Text menu, click Tabulation.
The Tabulation menu appears.
The Tabulation controls are described as follows.
- Add
-
Adds a tab stop on the text layer ruler. By default, tab stops are set at every 100 pixels.
- Delete
-
Removes the selected tab stop.
- Previous
-
Selects the previous tab stop on the text ruler. Tab stops appear in yellow when selected.
- Next
-
Selects the next tab stop on the text ruler.
- Tab ID
-
Verifies the tab number in the current paragraph. When you click Next or Previous, the Tab ID field changes, showing the number
of selected tab stops.
- Position
-
Sets the exact tab stop position on the X-axis. This value is set in pixels.
- Ruler
-
Displays or turns off the tabulation ruler in the text layer.
- Justification
-
Selects Left, Right, or Centre text alignment at the tab stop.
To set a tab stop:
- In the Tabulation menu, click Add to add the tab stop in a text layer.
- Click the tab stop and drag it to its new location on the ruler. Alternatively, enter a pixel value in the Position field.
Once you set tab stops for a paragraph, press Tab in subsequent paragraphs to type text in the location of the next tab stop. In a text layer, each time you press Enter, the tab stops you set in the previous paragraph are carried to the next paragraph.
