the most precise way to create and adjust tab stops is in Properties > 
Shape > Tabulators, where you can create new ones and adjust old ones, 
with a spinbox to carefully set the distance. They can also be part of a 
Paragraph Style. Furthermore, there is a default tab distance that you 
can find in File > Preferences > Tools (or File > Document Settings > 
Tools) under the settings for text frames - this is what applies when 
you haven't set any tab stops.
