Word for Mac - missing Tab command

Starting several weeks ago, I no longer have a "Tab" command within the
"Format" menu of Word. Thinking that perhaps I had forgotten something
simple, I went to the Word help menu, and was instructed that the Tab command
is in the Format menu. But it is absolutely not there. The list in the Format
menu includes character, paragraph, section document, and numberous other
items, but Tab is nowhere to be found. Where could it possibly have gone? I
used to use it all the time.

I am using an iMac G-5, running Mac OS 10.4.10, with Office 2004 for Mac.

I had upgraded to Word 11.3.5 and just this morning to 11.3.7. But still no
Tab command. I keep thinking I'm missing something obvious, but can't figure
out what it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure the procedure is the same for the Mac as for the PC, but

Thanks for getting back to me. I also posted this query to a Mac user group
and received directions that â?? although similar â?? were specific to the Word
menus in a Mac. The instructions in the link you forwarded below are
PC-specific, although related. In any case, my issue is solved. Thanks again.
