Can I set tabs in Word Online?

Unfortunately, no. Word Online preserves tab stops that are added to your document using the Word desktop application, but it doesn't yet provide a way to create them.

If you don't have the Word desktop application, you can try or buy it in the latest version of Office now.

Tip: Word Online works seamlessly with Word and other Office desktop programs, and we update it based on input like yours. For the latest feature announcements, visit the Office Online blog.
