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 ΒΆ 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 also

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,
