# Tabulating Text

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:

1. Create a text layer.
2. In the Text menu, click Tabulation.

   The Tabulation menu appears.

The Tabulation controls are described as follows.

To set a tab stop:

1. In the Tabulation menu, click Add to add the tab stop in a text layer.

2. 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.
