I'm using Office XP, and have used Word for a few years
now. It seems in a previous version of Word or
Wordperfect, I could remove all tabs from a paragraph or
document in one step, then re-set tabs to new settings. I
think this was a "default ruler" option. Now, I try to
re-set or remove tabs on the first line of a paragraph,
and find each following line stull has the unwanted tab.
This drives me crazy when I cut and paste from other
documents, as I often must do. This seems fundamental,
but all I get from the idiot paper clip is to manually
remove tabs from the ruler. Thanks, Clippy.

Does a carbon-based life form have a simple solution to
this? Thank you in advance for any help.
