            Bug ID: 143925
           Summary: 7.1.5.2 x64 writer: tab set missing, online help is
                    wrong; line spacing wonky
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: michael at casparinstitute.org

Description:
Trying to set tabs, but tabs are not appearing in the ruler, nor does clicking
or control clicking bring them up. Online help says " Choose Format - Paragraph
- Tabs tab." but there is no Tabs tab there. 
On a numbered list I want the elements 1.5 spaced but the multi-line elements
single space, and cannot. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start a numbered list using numbers and tabs (the way a normally trained
secretary would do), include one multi-line element
2.set all to 1.5 space, then try to single space the multi-line element
3. Try to change the tab distance between the numbers 1. 2. 3. etc. and the
start of the text

Actual Results:
didn't work; had to include 3pt empty line to make the doc look acceptable;
never could adjust the width of the tab.

Expected Results:
a professional looking document with all elements starting in the same place,
not too far from the numbers. It needs to be recognized that this tool will be
used by trained secretaries who may not know anything more sophisticated than
typing 1.[tab]element 1[return]2.[tab]element 2 so rarified list wizards may be
cool but won't be used.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
should have been able to move the tab in the ruler; should have been able to
set element spacing to single and between elements to 1.5
