  <h5 id="GrapeCity_Documents_Word_Tab_remarks"><strong>Remarks</strong></h5>
  <div class="markdown level0 remarks"><p>An absolute position tab is a character that is used to advance the position on the current line of text
when displaying content, using the following logic:</p>
<p>
Regardless of any number of custom tab stops defined using the <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.TabStop.html">TabStop</a>,
the absolute position tab character shall advance to the position specified by its <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.Tab.Alignment.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_Tab_Alignment">Alignment</a> and <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.Tab.RelativeTo.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_Tab_RelativeTo">RelativeTo</a> properties.
</p>
The resulting end position of the tab character shall not be affected by the addition of any custom tab stops
or changes to the value of the <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.StyleCollection.DefaultTabStop.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_StyleCollection_DefaultTabStop">DefaultTabStop</a>.
<p>
If the alignment location specified by the positional tab cannot be found on the current line
because the starting location is past that point, then the tab character shall advance to that location on the next available line in the document.
