Hello Caroline:

As far as I know, there is not a command in DBT that will reset the
tab stops to their default startup positions.

So, once you use the [cts] (clear tabs) code, you will have to reset
them manually or put the codes into a style.

If you do not replace some or all of the default tabs, you will move
to the tab positions that you last set when you press the <TAB> key.

If you created a style for the four column table, go to the "modify
style" dialog , choose the appropriate style and type the following
codes into the  "end codes:" edit field:

[stb2:l:3][stb3:l:5][stb4:l:7][stb5:l:9][stb6:l:11][stb7:l:13][stb8:l:15]

Someone once told me that these are the default tabs that are in use
when you start DBT.

Sincerely:

Dave Durber
