You should be able to delete tab characters easily by backspacing. If you are referring to tab custom stops (looks like the letter "L" and backwards "L" and a few other variants), just drag them off the horizontal ruler.



Note that if you want to you could post an example file in this thread and I'll have a look.

I posted that we tried to manually get rid of the tabs -- that included backspacing. The tabs are not responsive to manual manipulation.

I wondered if some formatting had gotten affixed to the table. I went into various functions that set formatting and still no luck. The tabs are not revealed via the ruler or revealing codes.

Maybe what I'm looking at is not a tab? Maybe it's something else. There's a definite indent -- and the codes show an arrow/indent in every cell in the table. I assumed it to be a tab.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Do post an example here, if at all possible. :-)
