If you simply define a tab, it applies only to the paragraph you're in.
Or to any paragraphs you have selected when you set the tab.


actually I went back to another letter I wrote last month - one page - and I
was able to tab at end of that letter. So why not this one?
Your cursor was at the end of a paragraph. You hit enter from that
paragraph, and the enter carried along the formatting from the previous
paragraph, including the tab. Does that make sense?

You might have carried the tab in all your text from the very beginning of
the letter.

Has anybody pointed you he

No, because I always hit enter at the end of every paragraph to put an empty
space between paragraphs.
