No, it is not possible to have tabs inside table columns.

However you can place text exactly by using text boxes. 

Click View, Toolbars, Drawing. When the toolbar appears it should have a 
button on it that looks a bit like a text file icon in Explorer (a box 
with horizontal lines in it). Click the button then click and drag to 
draw a text box. To set properties like borders, click inside the box 
then right-click on the outer rectangle (the thingy with the resize 
handles on it) then choose Format text box from the menu.

As for inserting pictures, right click the picture, choose Format Picture 
from the menu, click the Position tab then uncheck "Float over text". You 
can now position the picture like ordinary text.

By default, text and graphics will be vertically centred in the label. To 
change this, click View, Toolbars, Tables and Borders. You should find 
three white boxes with lines in them that will change the vertical 
alignment of the currently selected cell.
