HI, all of a sudden I am now seeing the image below, and I cannot align my tabs properly 

 

Do you have any idea where this could be going wrong?

 

I have no styles assigned to it. This is a brand-new document.

Move the tab panel above the text fram edge and on the right side a magnet symbol, click on it.

Hey thanks for the reply that was my first thought. It seems the text frame is 130mm wide but the tab bar is much wider

Hi @leek69071756:

 

That is unusual and while I work with tabs daily, this not something I have encountered in any version of InDesign.

 

However, I also don't select a frame to format the contents. Instead, I work with the text within. For example, I would set up two paragraph styles: one for the wine name/price and a second for the description, and then set the tabs for the styles themselves. If you move to that approach, I suspect that will solve this issue, but I'm happy to look at your file if you just need a clear answer.

Not sure why that happened, but just simply resize it first by pulling the left edge over a bit, then reposition the tab bar. Might have to do that a couple of times to see the right edge, but once you do, you can use the magnet.
