If you use styles to format your document tabs can usually be avoided
altogether, but at least you only have one place to change them.
Tabs can make a document very difficult to re-edit. I have a regular
correspondent who insists on using them to excess in a newsletter. I counted
519 of them in the last one of only two pages!

Ah, thanks for that. I knew it, of course, but I was hoping that
there might be an option somewhere to set tabs in absolute rather
than relative positions - a bit like that old-fashioned writing
device, the typewriter.
For some reason, I always seem to have minor difficulties resetting
tabs in a whole document. I select the entire text and fiddle away
(either on the ruler or more usually in the menu) but the results
tend to be a bit variable. I just need more practice, I guess.
