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.
