Dear Carlton,

You have to change the tab settings in the 'Normal' template � probably in a
folder called 'Templates'.

I can't tell you what I think of the Microsoft company every time that I
reload MS Word and have to go step by step through putting my computer back
(as close as I can) to SI and ISO 8601.

Cheers,
