Joe, I've learned that you think about these things at a pretty deep level, so I try to make sure I understand the nuances...

The concept of "default tab stops" or "tab at every half-inch" are only supported at the application level, not per paragraph, and you will do well to avoid them in any case.

Setting a paragraph's tab stops using the Format > Paragraph dialog window is like a sharp stick in the eye--use the rulers instead.

Why is it better to define a Paragraph style's tab stop(s) [which, to use the rulers, must be defined to AutoUpdate, correct?] with the rulers rather than numerically?
