Description: Trying to set tabs, but tabs are not appearing in the ruler, nor does clicking or control clicking bring them up. Online help says " Choose Format - Paragraph - Tabs tab." but there is no Tabs tab there. On a numbered list I want the elements 1.5 spaced but the multi-line elements single space, and cannot. Steps to Reproduce: 1. start a numbered list using numbers and tabs (the way a normally trained secretary would do), include one multi-line element 2.set all to 1.5 space, then try to single space the multi-line element 3. Try to change the tab distance between the numbers 1. 2. 3. etc. and the start of the text Actual Results: didn't work; had to include 3pt empty line to make the doc look acceptable; never could adjust the width of the tab. Expected Results: a professional looking document with all elements starting in the same place, not too far from the numbers. It needs to be recognized that this tool will be used by trained secretaries who may not know anything more sophisticated than typing 1.[tab]element 1[return]2.[tab]element 2 so rarified list wizards may be cool but won't be used. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: should have been able to move the tab in the ruler; should have been able to set element spacing to single and between elements to 1.5

I don't quite understand what you are reporting, but that looks more like usage problem, which is for ask.libreoffice.org than LO bug. Please start by reading Writer guide at https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/. If you think there a problem with LO tabs, you need to prepare better example document, which would explain what you are trying and aiming to do, preferably with some screenshots at key steps.
