Hi guys!

I'm not too sure where to post this but i got an urgent question to ask.

How do i use the "tab" button to my keyboard to shift some contents to the right?

Example:

Comp Temp
CPU 53C
GPU 92C
HDD 38C

But in my case, i want that "tab" function on my keyboard, to give me a standard predetermined spacing between "comp" and "temp".

It like when you are in microsoft word, you hit the tab and it will indent the temperatures. When i do it on hotmail and even OCN, it takes my cursor to another empty field. If i use the indent function, it will indent my whole line, which is not what i want.

Any ideas how do i do this?

The tab or indent key uses 6 spaces...just do it manually for the same effect

Is there a way to do this instead of manually? Even on OCN, when i do it, it just appears as just (1 spacing) even though i did 6. The normal "tabbing" can be done on MS word and lotus notes but i do not know how to do it on web based emails. Any ideas?

Are you using the new or old Hotmail?

In the New Hotmail, it indents just that line.

Using the new "live" one. When i indent something, its indents the whole line and i cannot get the effect i want.

Time<2 tab spaces>Date<1 tab space>Setting
1000<2 tab spaces>19/04<1 tab space>Full load
1100<2 tab spaces>19/04<1 tab space>Quarter load

You get what i mean right? When you do it in word or notepad, so everything is aligned.
