Tab stops moving after saving / emailing file
I have numberous files with headers that contain text separated by multiple
tabs - in other words, 3-4 lines of text appearing like two columns but there are 3-4 tabs in between the text on each line. When I email the files, the recipient often sees the text appearing like some of the tabs have been deleted and the justification is all off. When I open the file again, my copy still looks fine. Both users, the recipient and I, are using Word 2007 but I'm in Windows XP and the recipient uses Windows 7. Could this be the cause or does anything else come to mind. I'm trying to produce production-ready files and can't have text moving on me. Thanks!

It may be that the the Normal.dotm templates on your respective computers have different settings for the default tab stops, assuming the document isn't based on some other template. On each computer, press Alt+O, T to open the Tabs dialog and check the default value. A more general observation: Don't use 3 or 4 consecutive tabs, based on the default tab stop settings, to position anything. Set a specific non-default tab stop in the single paragraph where you want something positioned, and then use only one tab to go to it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
