Hi,

The short answer is I don't think you can. Flare uses HTML formatting which doesn't have a concept of tabs or tab stops to align things. Besides that, the heading number becomes part of the heading text which is formatted as a single unit using the p.TOC1 etc styles. I can't even think of a way to post process a tab in the PDF output.
