Spacing of tab stops

[il barbi]

I noticed with some Word files, but not with others, that in
defining a tab stop by clicking on the ruler the stop is not
assumed on the closest point in the graduation of
centimeters (the unit I chose in Options) with spacing 2,5
mm., but on an invisible graduation of inches, namely with
spacing 3,17 mm.=1/8 inch. In the contrary with other files
my stop is correctly assumed with spacing 2,5 mm. I don't
find any difference in the Options.
Can anyone explain?

It probably reflects the grid setting of the document - but you can position
a tab exactly where you want it by holding the ALT key while you place it.
