If your screen is jumpy, it may be difficult to determine whether your insertion point is positioned over the split box or the tab split box when these boxes are right next to each other. You may need to use a macro to restore the tab split box to its default position.

The following macro restores the tab split box to its default position.

Sample Visual Basic Procedure

Sub CenterTabSplitBox
    ActiveWindow.TabRatio = 0.6
End Sub
				

When you want to run this macro, click Macro on the Tools menu. Select the name of the macro from the list of macros, and then click Run to run the macro. Your tab split box is restored to the default position.
