You never explained that before. As has been mentioned earlier in the
thread, put the second tab beyond the end of line marker (you may
need to make the right margin slightly less than the full page
width). It then works exactly how you want - try it and see.

Depending on your exact needs, it is also possible to use a hanging
indent to make continuation lines line up with the single tab stop.
