I agree the tabulator button is silly looking. There are no tab sets even though there is a changable type. It is fun to see, though.Ryan Adneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638154287454314617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195869989354907758.post-73066101559019650872012-09-13T10:06:35.770-07:002012-09-13T10:06:35.770-07:00Confirmed.
