Default Replacing Tabs in Word

....Just for clarification, all types of indentation _are_ formatting
attributes regardless of whether the Ruler, the toolbar button the keyboard
or FormatParagraph is used to apply the indentation.

It's true that I made an error in calling them "tabs" and that I have used
the indent icon on my toolbar to indent. Thanks for pointing out my
error,
Graham.

But it is not a formatting operation. I have manually inserted indents.
Now
that we have the problem correctly specified, I'm not sure if going to
formatting is still the way I need to go. Will going to formatting remove
my
manual indents?

If ^t is not being recognised then there are no tabs in your document.

Chances are that you have a setting in autoformat as you type, to define
styles based on your formatting. In which case they are indents. Verify
by
pressing CTRL+* of click the ¶ button on the toolbar or look at the ruler
with the cursor in an indented para. That being the case, use the replace
function to replace the indented style with a non-indented style. See

I am writring a dictionary and have used a tab at the beginning of
each entry to distinguish it from a heading.

However now I wish to get rid of the tabs and I have tried doing it
by using
the "replace" function (control H), to replace a tab with nothing.

But I cannot find a function on "replace" for tabs.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of tabs without manually deleting
each one?

Thanks,
