As you are entering each code in the "Beginning" and "Ending" edit fields, You have to press the key combination <CTRL+LEFT SQUARE BRACKET> to place a pare of square brackets in the edit field, then type cts to clear the DBT default tab stops, then press the <RIGHT ARROW> key TO MOVE THE CURSOR TO THE RIGHT OF THE RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET, PRESS THE <CTRL+LEFT SQUARE BRACKET> TO PLACE ANOTHER PAIR OF BRACKETS IN THE EDIT FIELD, TYPE stb followed immediately by the tab number followed by a colon, followed by the character that represents the type of tab, for example, "l" for left align, "." for decimal align and "r" for right align, followed by another colon, and finally the number where the tab position is to go.
When you have finished entering the stb code as described above, press the <RIGHT ARROW> key to move the cursor to the right of the right square bracket and repeat the steps to insert the parameters for the second tab and so on.
In the "Ending codes" edit field, type the codes as I described in my previous message but, this time, pressing the <CTRL+LEFT SQUARE BRACKETS>for each code and then typing the parameters for each of the default tab stop.

Dave Durber
