Line Up the Tab Ruler

When you have a series of text blocks throughout your document and many or all of them use tabs, you'll need to move the Tabs palette (Command-Shift-T [PC: Control-Shift-T]) from one text block to the next to see the Tab Ruler, and edit the tab stops. Rather than dragging the Tabs palette above each text block, just select the text block with either the Type tool (T) or Selection tool (V), and in the Tabs palette, click on the magnet icon along the palette's right side (aka: the Position Palette Above Text icon, but who wants to say that?). The Tabs palette will automatically line up perfectly above the selected text block.
