The number of spaces are going to vary depending on your font and font size.
Plain text tables *never* look as pretty as a table with formatting.

Is there a way to convert a tab into however many spaces are needed to
reach
the next tab stop?
I'm trying to convert an html table to a plain text file. Some of the
cells
contain multiple lines. Currently, I copy into word, convert the table to
tab-delimited text, then save as plain text. However, this destroys the
column alignment, and messes up the multi-line 'cells'.
If there's not a built in function for this, how could I write a macro to
do
this? (I'm at the 'dabbler' proficiency level, but am very good at using
the
built-in help system).
