I regularly use Word documents created in another program and then edit them in 
OOo.  These documents have existing tab settings that are different for 
different paragraphs, and the default is 1.27cm.  I want to change the default 
to 1cm throughout.

However, if I use Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Writer > General > Settings 
and change the Tab stops value to 1.00 cm, the default tabs are set to an 
interval of 1cm *after* the rightmost pre-set tab.  For example, if there is a 
pre-set tab of .75cm in a paragraph, then the defaults for that para are set to 
1.75, 2.75, 3.75 etc instead of 1, 2, 3 etc.  The latter is what I want and it 
is (dare I say it) what MS Word does.

Is there another setting that I have not found or is there some other way of 
achieving what I'm trying to do?
