As anyone who subscribes to my newsletter or blog knows, I am the queen of saving time and keystrokes. Why on earth would one want to do something the long way??
So in that regard, here is a handy little shortcut you can use to display your Tabs dialog box:
Simply double-click on your Ruler just below the markings that appear there. Be certain that you double-click ONLY at the bottom of your Ruler. If you click at the top the Page Setup dialog will appear instead of the Tabs dialog.
Please note that when you double-click on your Ruler, you may also find that you have accidentally created a tab stop. Don’t fret though. You can quickly and easily remove that inadvertent tab stop by dragging if off your Ruler. Of course, you can also do it in the Tabs Dialog box by clicking Clear All.
