TAB key in text-mode indents to the columns of previous line's words. If
you want to go to next tab stop, as defined in tab-stop-list variable,
use M-i. For example, first write a line like this:
Here are some words.
Then press TAB key a couple of times on the next line. Then go to the
beginning of line and press M-i a couple of times. You should see the
difference.
