Dec 7, 2014 - Get a new document and set one tab (say a left tab at 3.0 inches). Paragraph of the document is set to some style with unexpected tab stops.

Cut me a break I see some people here giving this person a hard time which is unfortunate and smug. If you don't know the answer to a straightforward and legitimate question, don't pollute the thread with your comments and useless observations. I am looking for the exact same command/solution and have to wade through all the smart aleck remarks. It is a key formatting feature that is so easy in WordPerfect, Alt+F6. You could do that on a left or center aligned line and it interferes with nothing, just let's you get your work done the way you need it. Of course in Pages is completely hidden, not in Help or anywhere in the toolbars. We should have to wade through 5 steps to enable this.

A rightward pointing triangle appears on the ruler, this is a left-aligned tab stop. * Right-click the triangle and select right-tab The triangle will change to leftward pointing indicating that it will align from the right * Drag the new tab all the way to your right margin, taking care not to drag it off the ruler (which deletes it in a cloud of smoke) * Type text on your line using left alignment.

The behavior continues for every line after that. If you want to stop the behavior, just drag the triangle off, but don't sweat, all tab stops and settings on prior lines will remain.

It sounds stupid but is actually the most effective method I've found: • Create a Word document with a single line that is formatted to 'flush-left / flush-right' to your liking. • Import this document into Pages by dragging the file onto the doc icon. • Voila, Pages formats it exactly how it was in Word. • Copy and paste the line as a template for whenever you need the flush-left / flush-right format.

• Keep in mind this will only work with the original imported document. For frustrating reasons I don't understand, copying the properly formatted line into another Pages document will result in losing the flush-left / flush-right formatting. The fact that Pages supports this after importing indicates that the software clearly has that format built in somewhere. It's super annoying that this isn't made available to the user to set up themselves. Still, I much prefer this Import workaround over using tabs (I found that the tabs actually don't align uniformly to the right, so if you try to 'Flush Right' using tabs, the result is quite sloppy). Hope this helps. It's a shame Pages isn't better in this particular area, but it's superior in so many others that I've decided to keep using it.
