With its extensive capabilities, Microsoft Word has become one of the most popular text editors, suitable for a wide range of tasks.

Some users prefer to create tables by adjusting the tab width, or they want to create a table in a format that does not support them. In previous versions of FastReport .NET, RichObject offered the function to modify the width of a tab in a line, but all their sizes after the first tab were the same.

It is used when converting RichObject. Now you can control the width of tab characters in two ways: – to set from the code the width of individual tab characters for each line of the TextObject;– by uploading the finished document into RichObject. The function to edit this property in the designer is temporarily unavailable. If there are more tab characters than widths, the tab size will be normal, and if there will be more values than ta ...
