    To use the Tab function in Microsoft VBA, you can position output in a file or in the Immediate window. Here’s how you can use it:

    1. Using the Tab function with Print # statement: You can open a file for output and use the Tab function to specify the column where the output should start. For example:
         Open "TESTFILE" For Output As #1    ' Open file for output.
         Print #1, "Hello"; Tab(20); "World."
         Print #1, "Hello"; Tab; "World"
         Close #1    ' Close file.
      
      In this example, the first Print statement prints "Hello" and then moves the cursor to column 20 to print "World." The second Print statement moves to the next print zone if the argument is omitted.
    2. Using the Tab function with Debug.Print: You can also use the Tab function with the Debug.Print method to print text starting at a specific column. For example:
         Debug.Print Tab(10); "10 columns from start."
      
      This will print the text starting at column 10 in the Immediate window.

    These examples illustrate how to effectively use the Tab function to control the output formatting in your applications.

    Dear @Krists Zambars

    Good day! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! 

    Based on your description, I understand that you need guidance on using the tabs function in Microsoft Word so you can complete your test. 

    Regarding your situation, kindly try the following suggestions to set and use tabs in Microsoft Word:

    • To insert or add tab stops:
      • Go to Home > Paragraph (dialog launcher) > Tabs
      • User's image
      • Enter the Tab stop position (e.g., 2.5")
      • Tabs dialog box
      • Choose Alignment (Left/Center/Right/Decimal)
      • (Optional) Choose a Leader (dots/dashes/line)
      • Select Set, then OK
      • For reference: Insert or add tab stops
    • You could also use the Ruler
      • You can Turn it on in View tab > Ruler
      • Use the tab selector (left of the ruler) to pick a tab type, then click the ruler to place the tab
      • User's image
    • To show dots or leaders between tabs: For step-by-step instructions, please refer to: Show dots or leaders between tabs
