Is there a way to change the tab space from 1 inch to 1/2 inch or whatever number we desire? Since LiveCycle doesn't offer to create a bullet list I've had to create a bullet using the good ol' ascii code then hit tab but the space is to far from the bullet as noted in my photo below.

You have to mark at least one tabstop in your text.
Then move the mouse over the marked part.
A popup will appear where you can define the default tab stob size.

That works. Would have loved to just be able to highlight my whole sentence and do it one shot but typing it line by line will have to do. Also you have to really play with those leader ends. Thank you. Radzmar, you've been a great help today so I can finally finish this form after so many months.

I see how this would work for a tab with a leader, but I cannot get into the textbox to set the tab measurment for a left or right aligned tab. The leader tab seems to be the only one availalbe, even if "no leader" is selected. How can you set the mesurement for a left tab?
