Set tab stops in Numbers on iPhone
You can set tab stops to align text left, right, at the centre 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
Tap the text to place the insertion point where you want to insert a tab stop, then tap again.
Tap Insert, then tap Tab.
If you don’t see Insert, tap
, then tap Insert.
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 iPhone.
To immediately undo a tab insertion, tap or Undo.
