You can do a global find and replace of a tab character, changing them all to a space.


No need to do them one at a time.

Sure saves on the typing.

Hi Monica and everyone!

Thanks for the tab command.

When stripping out tabs, should I take each one individually or can I do a Replace All command? I would hate to wreck anything that was meant to stay as it was.

Hi Debby. In Word, the tab character is ^t and in Kurzweil, in case you use
it, it's  \t

Hi Bob!

How do I search for a tab character?  I don't know what the symbol is?
