One way to see for sure if you have tabs is to check the space from the
left margin using alt-delete. Check the location of the cursor before JFW
says 'tab' and check it afterwards. If you don't know the size of a
regular space, do the same thing in the middle of the word that doesn't
have a tab character so you can tell what a single space should be. I
think I remember that reporting 'tab' erroneously was a bug reported in
maybe JFW 5.early, and reported fixed later. Unfortunately, JFW does not
always report formatting correctly.
