It sounds like the use of paragraph styles would help significantly in what you're trying to do. If you're not familiar with styles, take a look at the users guide for OOo 2.0, which you can find at _http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html_ (http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html) The section on styles starts on page 65.

Hi again, I'll be wearing out my welcome, but here I go again. I was presented with a 17 page list of names and relevant page numbers. This was created: sometimes using spaces, sometimes default tabs and sometimes user defined tabs. The whole looks like a dogs breakfast and foolishly I volunteered to tidy things up. My approach was to use just 3 tabs, the last a right tab for the numbers and shift things into place by removing multiple spaces a.s.o. But I couldn't set the tabs! If I highlight the text I can't set tabs, if I select one single line at a time I can set tabs, but as soon as I go to the next line I have to set tabs over and over again. So how can I set fixed tabs for existing text? A solution really would restore my faith in O O. Max.
