Hi Milton,
Approaching this situation is done several ways.
1. Columns. Define your page using columns rather than tabs. The advantage
here is that your column width will be uniform and you won't have to figure
out the longest line in the lot. If you want 3 columns looking even, then
that's the easiest way to go. Let Word calculate the column widths and the
gutter between each column, then it will adjust your text to fit the column
width.
2. Tabs. Tabs are used primarily for tabulating data, such as text and
numerical data, such as names, account numbers and the like. If it's
strictly text you're after, don't use tabs for the job.
If ordered text is how you want your page defined, I'd recommend columns.
