Hi Debby,
If you're certain that your book won't have tables, then you can pretty
safely do a global replace of tabs with spaces. If there are tables though,
that replacement might cause a problem. When proofreading straight fiction,
I don't worry about doing that replacement and causing any harm. However,
with nonfiction, I worry more, and might wait to do that replacement until
I've read the book.
Just what I do.

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.
