You've got the right advice from others here; I just thought I'd add that what you cleared was the tab settings (where they positioned the text), not the actual tab characters obviously.

I selected the entire text, hit alt+o to get into my format menu, i then went to paragraph and went down to the tabs button and clicked on it. there is a button that says clear all but it doesn't clear anything, do you know how to remove these tabs from the document. Tabs might be able to assist the sighted reader but all they do is make my document longer. Take care, John
