Set tab stops in Numbers on iPad
You can set tab stops to align text left, right, at the center, or on a decimal point. When you insert a tab, the insertion point and any text to the right of it move to the next tab stop, and text you enter starts at that point.
Insert a tab in text
Go to the Numbers app on your iPad.
Open a spreadsheet, tap the text to place the insertion point where you want to insert a tab stop, then tap again.
Tap Insert, then tap Tab.
The insertion point moves to the closest tab stop. Tapping Tab again moves to the next tab stop, and so on.
For information about inserting a tab in a table cell, see Change the look of table text in Numbers on iPad.
To immediately undo a tab insertion, tap Undo.
Thanks for your feedback.
