drag to select text.

Drag a tab marker from the text ruler to its new location in the area just above the numbers:

Drag the left-align tab to align the left edge of the text to the tab marker.
•
Drag the right-align tab to align the right edge of the text to the tab marker.
•
Drag the center-align tab to align text to the center of the tab marker.
