Chang Default Tab to 0.25 in all new docs
In MS Word 2002 SP3 default tab is 0.50in. (and all previous versions).
I use 0.25in for the default tab. It makes the documents look a lot cleaner. However, trying to save the default into the Gloabal or Normal template does NOT work. I have also tried saving as new Normal.dot, etc and nothing seems to work. Does anyone know a fix for this? i.e When opening new doc, have the default tab set to 0.25in. |

Chang Default Tab to 0.25 in all new docs
To change the default tab interval, you will need to open Normal.dot and
edit it directly. For instructions on finding and opening Normal.dot, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm. When it is open, go to Format | Tabs, change the default tab stop setting, and OK. Save Normal.dot. Although it should be possible to save the default tab interval this way, a better approach is to set specific tab stops (and indents) in your styles as required. -- Suzanne S.
