[ISO/IEC 29500-1 1st Edition]

ptab (Absolute Position Tab Character)

This element specifies that an absolute position tab character shall be placed at the current location in the run content. An absolute position tab is a character which is used to advance the position on the current line of text when displaying this WordprocessingML content, using the following logic:

Regardless of any number of custom tab stops defined using the tabs element (§17.3.1.38) , the absolute position tab character shall advance to the position specified by its alignment and relativeTo attributes. 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 defaultTabStop element (§17.15.1.25).

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.

[Example: Consider a paragraph which contains two custom tab stops at 1.5" and 3.5", respectively. These two tab stops would be contained within a tabs element defining the set of tab stops of the paragraph as follows:

<w:pPr>  
  <w:tabs>  
    <w:tab w:val="left" w:pos="2160" />   
    <w:tab w:val="left" w:pos="5040" />   
  </w:tabs>  
</w:pPr>  

If a positional tab character was added to a run in this paragraph starting at inside the margin and was defined as follows:

<w:ptab … w:alignment="center" w:relativeTo="margin" />   

This positional tab would then ignore the next custom tab stop and the indents on the current paragraph defined using the ind element (§17.3.1.12) and would advance to the center of the line with respect to the text margins, moving to a new line if needed. end example]
