If tab markers are used in word files, those tab markers are recognized by DBT when you import any Word file that contains tab markers. The [>] code is used to mark a tab marker in the DBT file. However, if someone has designed a template in word that contains a paragraph style that automatically indents the first line to column 5, as far as I am aware, DBT will not recognize the indent as being a tab marker, as if that person had actually pressed the TAB key to place a physical tab marker in the Word document.
