Delete all tabs

Post by Ambaquista »

I want to reformat a document with lots of tabs...
I need a quick way to delete all tabs across the doc to use my own styles.
Any idea?
Thanks

You can use the "Find/Replace" tool to replace "^t" with nothing.

Sorry, my fault...
I´m not want to delete tabs in the text, but the "tab definitions" in the Format area.
Several documents have a lot of "tab definitions" across the text, and I want to costumarize these pieces of text with my own styles.
thanks for your cooperation.

Click “Format | Tabs…”
On the left of the “Tabs” dialog, select the first tab position, then press the “Delete” button.
Press the “Delete” button again as many times as is necessary to remove all of them.
OK out of the “Tabs” dialog.
Note that you can move individual tab stops along the ruler if you grab them with the mouse. The tab stop value is automatically adjusted.
If you grab a tab stop with the mouse and drag it outside the ruler area, you remove that tab stop completely.

There is an even faster method:

1. Select the target paragraphs or the whole document if the whole document is the target.
2. Click “Format | Tabs…” or the dedicated toolbar button Image to open the “Tabs” dialog.

3. Press “OK”.

Atlantis will automatically remove all custom tab stops within the current selection of paragraphs.
