Describe how each of the following tab stops function and give an example of when you would use each type of tab stop:  Left Tab, Right Tab, Center Tab, Decimal Tab.

What will be an ideal response?

(Answers may vary)
- Left Tab: Left-aligns selected text at the point indicated on the horizontal ruler. This is the default tab, and I could use it to set up section titles on a report, or set up a return address in a business letter.
-Right Tab: Right-aligns selected text at the point indicated on the horizontal ruler. This is useful for aligning page numbers in a table of contents.
-Center Tab: Centers selected text at the point indicated on the horizontal ruler. This is used with titles and announcements.
-Decimal Tab: Aligns selected text on the decimal point at the point indicated on the horizontal ruler. This is helpful when preparing price lists, invoices, and menus.
