Hi Georgina, You can remove the tabs very easily, and replace them with spaces. Open the find and replace dialogue by pressing control plus h. In the find box type \t (that is a backslash followed immediately by the lower case letter t). In the replace box, hit the space bar. Tab to "replace all" and hit enter. It'll get rid of all of those pesky tabs and it only takes about fifteen seconds! I love quick fixes! By the way, you want to replace the tabs with spaces so that words won't get run together. Just in case you're wondering why the replacement. Good luck.

I noticed that there are tabs all over the place. I'm assuming Kurzwheil added them. Is there a way I can remove them? Or do I leave them in? Thanks for any help. --Georgina Currently scanning The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout
