Tab jumps

Word 2000: When I press the tab key the cursor jumps to the middle of the
page instead of tabing to the tab point. What has happened and how do I fix
this. Thanks

When you press the Tab key, the insertion point moves to the next default or
custom tab stop, and a custom tab stop will override the default ones to the
left of it. (For more on tabs in Word, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/SettingTabs.htm.)

Or are you saying that no tab character is being inserted as you press Tab?
To find out, display nonprinting marks, for example by pressing Ctrl+Shift+8
(for more on nonprinting marks, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm).

Found the problem. The page was set up as tables and I needed to press "crlt
+ tab" to get to the next tab stop. Thanks for the help
