I pressed Ctrl+a followed by Ctrl+c
There was no tab!
On further investigation, pressing the tab key produces what MS calls an indent. It does not insert the tab character. When I click on the funny little graphic with the lightning flash, I am offered the option to "Change back to tab". That fixes the problem!
