High-light the line, adjust the tab slides as shown in the graphic. You
can set each
individual line with their own tab stops as long as there is a return
after the line.

The lines are not adjacent to each other, and there are already text in
the
lines. E.g.

line1 line1 line1 line1
line2 line2 line2 line2
line3 line3 line3 line3

Pretend the spaces above are tabs.
Now let's say I change the first line into

line1 line1 line1 line1

by adjusting the tabs. Again, pretend the spaces are tabs.
How do I make the tabs on line3 look like line1 but leave line2 alone?

I do not understand you problem.
If you make a text box then set some tabs now type in the box,
if you let the text autoflo at the end of the line the tabs will
appear
in the new line,
If you press enter for a new line the tabs will appear in the new
line.

What else are you doing and what version of Pub are you using?
