Not sure what you mean by indent between two words but quoted-insert
(C-q TAB) inserts a tab character. There are also a bunch of alignment
commands like align-regexp to align sections of text items into
colums.

Oh I see, that was what I was looking for, thanks!

C-q works everywhere, even in minibuffer completion. You can also use
it for Unicode characters and control characters, which can come in
very hand for find and replace; inserting new lines for instance

Rectangle commands and rigid indent can work.  Select rectangular
region and rigidly indent it.
