Default Replace spaces with tabs

If they are variable multiple spaces then with the wildcard option set
replace
[ ]{2,}
with
^t

I am not really sure what you mean by a "space section", but to
replace something with a tab space, insert ^t in the Replace with
section of the EditReplace dialog. If it is four spaces that you
want to replace, press the space bar four times when the cursor is in
the Find what box of the dialog.

I pasted some text into my Word document, but instead of using tabs
to separate sections, there are several spaces. Can I use find and
replace to
replace all four space sections with a tab instead?

Thanks,
Amanda
