How about not pressing the Tab button?
Instead, modify the Style, specifically the Format, Paragraph Left Indent to
the size you want, then all paragraphs based on that style will have the
indent automatically.
Word works best of Styles are used instead of manual formatting, if you are
new to Styles, then see the following very useful and informative website:
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/index.html and in particular the section on
Styles in Microsoft Word.
All the best

Thanks DeanH! I now know what these arrows are (apparently 'tabs') and that
they occur wherever and whenever I used/use the tab key unfortunately I still
do not know how to disable this function when I press tab to indent.
I am using Word 2003.
Any suggestions?

What version of Word are you using? This always helps with the possible
solution.
Anyway, what you are seeing are the Non-Printing Characters, use Ctrl+Shft+8
or the ΒΆ icon (on the Home ribbon or the Standard toolbar) to toggle the view
of these.
For further information on how these characters can be of use see:

Hope this helps

At the beginning of every paragraph of all of my saved word documents there
is a horizontal arrow pointing right in the indentation space.
I have already tried the 'arrowhead' button in the 'drawing toolbar" for
removing these arrows but this did not work.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these arrows?
