Final answer:

To add a right tab stop at the 6-inch mark, display the ruler, move to the mark, and set the tab stop using your word processor's interface.

Step-by-step explanation:

To add a right tab stop at the 6-inch mark on the ruler within a word processing program, you typically follow a series of steps:

  • Ensure you're in the 'Home' tab or the equivalent where paragraph settings are located.
  • Find the ruler at the top of the document. If it's not visible, go to the view settings and enable the ruler.
  • Hover over the ruler until the cursor changes to a tab stop symbol, usually a 'L' shape for the left tab stop.
  • Click on the ruler at the 6-inch mark, or click and drag an existing tab stop to the 6-inch mark. Doing so should place the right tab stop, aligning the text correctly.

In some programs, you might have additional options for setting precise measurements for tab stops within the paragraph settings dialogue box.
