It's a formatting entity which is the same as 8 spaces. It's used as the first thing in a paragraph.

Normally, the first line of a paragraph begins further to the right than the other lines of the same paragraph. This difference is called the indent.
Many times people will use the Tab key to set an indent. This will result in a ½" indentation. The nearest ½" mark on the ruler is the default setting, but you can set a tab marker wherever you like by clicking on the ruler... a tiny 'L' will appear where you set a 'left' tab.
Better yet... you can set the paragraph to automatically indent by setting the little pointers on the left edge of the ruler. Drag the downward pointer (on the top) out to where you'd like the paragraph to start. Every new paragraph will automatically be set to the same indent.
Try playing with the markers and see what the results are. You can create hanging indents, etc...
Check your FORMAT menu to see what you can do with the TAB settings.
