You can change the tab interval in a specific document, as you have found,
but there's no Default... button for this, so you need to actually modify
Normal.dot to do this (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions on
finding and editing Normal.dot). Or you could just set the tabs you need in
the appropriate styles.

Hello,
I've noticed that the default tabs setting in Word is 0.5 in, which I
almost
always have to change to 0.25 because I prefer it smaller. Is there any
way
to permanently change this default so I don't have to do it in every
document
individually?
Thanks!
Jen
