Tabs in html document change when the document is saved. Remedy?
Often, the tabs (say in a list of itmes) I put into an html document change
when I save the document or upload it to a website. Is there a way to fix this, to make sure that the original tabs remain as originally done? The workaround I have been using is to select all and then clear all tabs and save. That works - but only temporarily. This is a real nuisance. GC |

Hi George,
You didn't mention the version of Word you're using or a sample of the data format, but basically there are no tab settings in HTML, for columnar data although there is HTML coding for lists and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can create a tab style display when viewed in a browser, while saving as a Filtered web page from Word will replace the tabs/styling with a series of 'nonbreakspace' (&NBSP) HTML characters. You may want to look at putting the data in a table (you can turn off all of the visible cell/table borders) as an alternate method. Do you have a URL for a website page where you're seeing the behavior? ========= "George" wrote in message news Often, the tabs (say in a list of itmes) I put into an html document change when I save the document or upload it to a website.

Thanks, Bob.
I have Word 2002 in MS Office XP (2002). Here are a couple of URLs that show the problem: http://www.bergen.edu/Faculty/gcronk/1tests_1.htm http://www.bergen.edu/Faculty/gcronk/1tests_2.htm 1tests_1.htm (listing at bottom) is the way I WANT it to be. 1tests_2.htm is what happens when I save and re-access this kind of document (the way I DON't want it to be). Any solutions? Thanks, again.

Hi George,
When I opened the documents for editing in MS Word via the Internet Explorer File menu it appears to be the 'bullet and numbering' definitions that you have set for the bulleted lists that are causing the problem, including setting a hard tab at 1.05". If you select the bulleted list, right click and choose Bullets and Numbering and reduce the large indent and tab see if you get the result you want. Note, that if this is going to be a public web page (i.e. one where not everyone will be pulling these documents back into Word) you may want to save your original as a .doc file, then use File=Save as Web Page-Filtered for the online edition). That will take out some of Word's formatting but it will be more compatible with various web browsers. ======= "George" wrote in message ... Thanks, Bob. I have Word 2002 in MS Office XP (2002).
