Tabs all over the place..
Hi there,
I'm doing a long document and I've imported text and copied and pasted into this document from other sources. My tabs are all over the place and I'd like to set a tab for the document and the titles and intros would have their separate more inside tabs. How can I start "fresh" and clear all the existing tabs and start with a tab to place all text against it? Or if there were no tabs would it default to the left margin? Many thanks, Gordon |

If you mean typed tab characters, then you can do Find/Replace (Ctrl-
H) with ^t in the Find what? box and nothing at all in the Replace with box, and click "Replace All." If, as is more likely, you mean that you have a variety of indentations -- maybe even first line, left margin, right margin -- and you want every paragraph to be the same, then select your entire text (Ctrl-A) and apply a single paragraph style (with just one click). Use (or create) a paragraph style with the precise first-line indent and justification style that you want. If you have headings that you want to keep as headings, then instead of selecting the entire text, then select all the body text following each heading and apply that basic style.
