Hello Jim:
While I agree with your find criteria, I am not sure that I agree with your replace criteria. You are replacing each tab with a space. The originator of this message only aske for how to find and eliminate the tab characters, not how to replace them with something else. To eliminate the tab characters, the replaced criteria should be left empty.
Regards, Rick

Hello, I must do this all the time, so I use Find and Replace.
1. Launch the Find and Replace command with Control H.
2. In the first box, type ^T. If you do not have punctuation turned on just in case, that is a shifted 6 followed by the letter t.
3. Tab over to the Replace edit box and type a space. At least, this is what I type to get rid of all the tabs.
4. Press Alt A to Replace All, and that should do it.
