Pressing Tab doesn't indent. Double-clicking ruler doesn't show "Tabs" tab

The problem of the Tab key not indenting seems to be tied to me wanting to open Rich Text Format documents in web view by default. I only changed it for RTF files. What seems a bit odd to me is that if I reverse the modification so that RTF files open with Normal view, and I manually change the view to Web each time I open an RTF file then I can Tab like normal.

I also noticed that when I have Web view set as default and I double-click on the ruler, the Tabs and the Text Flow tab don’t appear.


I’m on Win10 with version 7.5.4.2

It’s a small thing but if possible I would like to not have to manually change the view to Web each time I open an RTF file. Thanks for any help.

You open the document in Writer/Web. That is not the normal word processor in web view but an HTML editor. Because HTML doesn’t have a tab tag anymore, the tab key is disabled.
