Changing Tab Stop Alignment

[Ashley Randall]

Has anyone else noticed a problem changing tab the type
of tab stop in the tab box in the corner where the rulers
meet? My mouse is not changing to let me click through
from one tab type to the next. All I get is a diagonal
double-ended arrow and a message about double clicking to
shift-drag the ruler to another location. Things are not
working much better when I try to adjust margins in the
ruler area, either. This is a problem in Publisher 2003--
never had this problem in previous versions.
Any help or explantion would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks.

It is a bug... The corner tab setting does not work
The other problem is a bug too.
"Margin Guides on the Ruler can no longer be selected after scrolling vertically."

Issue: Margin Guides on the Ruler can no longer be selected after scrolling
vertically.

Description:

When providing focus in a textbox in Publisher and then moving the mouse over the
ruler, the default options for the ruler is to make available the tab stops as well
as to move and set the margin guides.

With the focus in a textbox and if you were to scroll up or down using the Vertical
Scroll Bar, you will find that moving the mouse over the ruler will no longer allow
you to access the tab stops or the margin guides until you set the focus off the
textbox and then back onto it again. The ruler will defaulting to the "Create
Horizontal Guide. Shift

+ Drag to move the Horizontal Ruler" command.

Put the tab settings on your toolbar, it will save a click or two.
