drag the tab symbol downwards away from the ruler. Release the mouse button to remove the tab. This action will delete the selected tab stop from the horizontal ruler in your document.
A centered tab stop
These are tab stops. In Microsoft Word you can create a tab stop by clicking and dragging on the horizontal ruler, where they appear as flipped-over black L or T marks. If there are faint marks below the ruler at 1-inch intervals, these are the default tab stops.
To display the horizontal ruler when it's not visible, navigate to the "View" tab in your application. Look for the "Show" group, where you can find a checkbox for the ruler. Simply click the box to enable the ruler, making it visible for your use.
They are indicated just under the ruler, not actually on it.

tick marks
When the Tab key is pressed in Microsoft Word, it creates a horizontal space or indentation at the cursor's position. By default, this typically moves the cursor to the next preset tab stop, which is usually every half-inch. If you want to customize tab stops, you can do so in the ruler or the Paragraph settings. Pressing Shift + Tab will move the cursor back to the previous tab stop.
Yes it can. You have the different elements on it for the indents. They can be dragged to reposition them. You can click on the ruler to set a tab. The tab can also be dragged to change its position, or dragged completely off the ruler to remove the tab.
