Spaces For Tabs

Advanced setting Spaces For Tabs causes spaces to be inserted in plain text documents instead of tabs whenever the tab key is pressed. The setting specifies the number of spaces to be used to represent a tab. Valid values are 1 through 9. This setting only affects plain text documents.

This setting also causes the Increase Indent and Decrease Indent paragraph formatting features to use spaces, rather than tabs, for indenting in plain text documents. The following example specifies that three spaces should be used instead of a tab character in plain text documents whenever the tab key is pressed:

Spaces For Tabs=3

The default value is -1 which means tabs will not be replaced by spaces:

Spaces For Tabs=-1
