Re: Expand tabs

I have a document created from an Excel spread***. When I convert
table to text, I delimit with tabs, then save as a text file. I now
want to upload to a mainframe, but first I need to expand the tabs to
the requisite number of spaces. This is done in many editors, but I
don't have any of them! Does anyone have a macro to do this in Word?

Just use Edit > Replace. In the Find What box, enter ^t which is the code
for a tab. In the Replace With box, press the spacebar as many times as you
want to have spaces for each tab. Click the Replace All button.
