Yes. I agree . It is a straight copy of the MSWord dialog and I spent a
long time trying to understand how it worked.

I think we need to provide a defined size rather than the number of tab
stops. For example many MS Word A4 documents have default tab stops of
0.5inch even though this makes no sense given the metric definition of A4.

Yes, I agree the current design is unintuative.

Sorry the lack of labels in the glade file makes it very hard to
understand how this works. Could you provide a screen shot with the
labels?

Thanks Michael!
