Can I just add that you might want to replace each tab with a space, otherwise you might get two words that were originally separated with a tab changing into one word? You can then do another find and replace to find double spaces with single ones. Steve -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of G.W.

Tab to the replace field and type nothing, meaning leave it blank. Tab to replace and space bar on the button. Jaws will announce how many replacements were made. You might repeat a few times. ----- Original Message ----- From: john <mailto:joramsey@xxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 8:43 PM Subject: MS Word Question Hello List, Do you happen to know how to remove tabs that someone has formatted into one of their word documents? I selected the entire text, hit alt+o to get into my format menu, i then went to paragraph and went down to the tabs button and clicked on it. there is a button that says clear all but it doesn't clear anything, do you know how to remove these tabs from the document. Tabs might be able to assist the sighted reader but all they do is make my document longer.
