Another couple of suggestions.
If you have perl around, it's a one-liner to tidy up the separators. If not, you could call the whole thing a csv file and read into calc specifying tab and space as separator, and merge separators (always assuming no blank fields - messy if so!), then you can either print from the spreadsheet, or re-export as csv (tab sep) and load into 'writer'. Within 'writer', if you want to set tabs everywhere the same, select all the text (^A) and set tab stops. Or use a style as others have suggested.
