If you write by hand, then do two finger spaces. If you are doing it on a computer, then just press the tab button, which is set to the default of 5 spaces. If you prefer, use the space bar and tap it 5 times.

Just hitting tab usually works, provided that a) you have a tab key (and who doesn't? Even old typewriters have tab keys), and b) it is set for the proper spacing as the default setting. It is rare to ever need to change the default setting.

These days 1/2 inch is considered proper (about 5 spaces using 12 point Courier, but it will vary with other fonts and sizes). Somewhere in your Word Processing program, in your Formatting and paragraph settings, you'll be able to set the tab stops. Just set it to 0.5" and you're set!
