@vmiklos Can you please comment if there is any quick fix that can achieve desired result if ptab is not supported by LO

Comment 7 Miklos Vajna 2023-10-09 06:41:56 UTC 
You can always create a tab stop that is at the paragraph center or at the right of the paragraph and jump there, that'll be similar to a ptab. Things only break when the paragraph width changes. In that case ptab is kept at the center or right, but a fixed tab stop will have its stop position unchanged and you'll have to fix it up manually.
Comment 8 Hannah Knowles 2024-02-20 01:59:20 UTC 
You can consistently set a tab stop either at the center or right of a paragraph and navigate there, mimicking the functionality of a ptab. Issues arise only when the paragraph width shifts. If that happens, a ptab remains at the center or right, but a fixed tab stop retains its position, necessitating manual adjustment.
