How Many Spaces Are In A Tab
I am trying to use vbtab and chr 9 but they are not working even when putting multiple.
How many spaces are in a tab. If you prefer use the space bar and tap. Those indentation rules are great but what about mixing tabs and spaces. 1 tab character number of spaces until the next tab stop.
If you write by hand then do two finger spaces. In terms of how many spaces or tabs constitutes indentation it s more important to be consistent throughout your code than to use any specific tab stop value. Spaces adjust to some degree to accommodate font size.
When using tabs it s important to keep in mind that tab characters represent the number of characters until the next 8 character tab stop.

This doesn t necessarily apply to the article but in the old days of typewriters and fixed width fonts a tab was 5 spaces because five characters was half an inch.
I want to make complete paragraph as one part in the vba code. A tab position is an artificial margin for the alignment of tabulated text. A tab could be a different number of columns depending on your environment but a space is always one column.
That s pretty irrelevant now though. Sometimes in the case of a word processor the font used dictates the number of spaces. The tab character instructs the display processor or printer engine to move to the next tab position.
Similarly the space ratio declines when a font size increases. With a smaller font size the number of spaces and fractions of spaces needed to reach the one half inch mark increases. Output is requested to be in below format.
