disable snap-to while dragging tab stops?

[peter]

How do I drag a tab stop to arbitrary position without it snapping to the
tick marks on the ruler?

I tried holding down shift, ctrl, alt. None of them works. I even turned off
everything in the arrange->snap menu.

Publisher 2003.

Set the tab to about where you want it, zoom to 200%, open the tab dialog and input
the number where you want the tab positioned, click set. The tab button can be
dragged to your toolbar by customizing. This is the best that Publisher can do...

Hello Peter-

Setting tabs on the ruler is limited to increments that range from .061" to
..065". If you need more precise tab setting it has to be done through the
Tabs dialog box where you can place tab stops just about anywhere you wish.

BTW- If you need to do this on a regular basis you might want to create a
para style that applies those precision settings for you.
