Word 2000:

When I copy a section of Doc1 into a blank Doc2, a tab stop
appears in every paragraph of Doc2 at 0.63 cm. This tab stop
did not exist in Doc1. (The paragraphs are outline numbered, if
this makes any difference.)

Why does this tab stop appear?
How can I prevent it from appearing?
Why does Find&Replace not find a tab stop at 0.63 cm and replace
it with nothing?

TIA

As for why the tab stop appears, presumably it's part of the numbered style
in Doc2. The whole issue of what happens to formatting when you copy from
one document to another is a swamp, but these articles may help to explain
it:

Find&Replace can't do anything about tab *stops*; it can replace only tab
*characters*. To remove the tab stop, you'll have to modify the style and/or
the outline numbering definition.
