In case it helps, you don't have to have a tab after an automatic number:
Word gives you a choice of tab, space, or nothing.

That was not I, Suzanne.

And I'm still trying to piece together the situation in which I thought I
needed a backspace. I do remember, though, that there was an automatic
number and tab involved in it somewhere.

To tell you the truth, it was an instance that occurred last week in
which
I
thought I needed a backspace in the Replace box and I made a note to
ask
you
wonderful people how to do it. To save my life, I can't think of what
the
situation was right now--all I seem to remember now is the note to ask
you.
I will look back over things and get back with you. You will probably
be
able to show me another way. More later.
