\t means tab, not space. If you forgot to check the Regular Expression checkbox, then the "*" will be replaced by the string "\t" rather than a tab.
If you want to replace all asterisks (*) with spaces, just type the asterisk in the search field and then a single space in the replace field. Leave the Regular expression's checkbox unchecked. But why replace the asterisk by a space? Why not replace it by nothing, that is just remove the asterisk? Just make sure that the Replace field is empty (just try click and try to highlight the whole field to verify that there are no spaces there). That works!!!!\ thanks kevin
