Dear Stacey, Here is how to change the tabs and preserve the settings.
1. Go to the layout menu. 2. Press space until you get to tab stops. Press enter. 3. To change the first tab stop from i5 to 5, type 5 and press enter. Change as many stops to 5 as you can to 5. 4. When you can no longer change a tab stop because the number 5 is out of range, change the stop to 0 and press enter. 5. After you have changed all the tab stops, Press control s to save your settings. Press escape and y to confirm the changes. Your tabs will now be preserved when you export a KeyWord document to rtf, Word, or WP. Tabs will disappear if you export a document as plain text. Many people don't indent the first line of a paragraph at all when they are creating a document for a sighted person to read. They simply press enter twice at the end of each paragraph. I prefer this method. The only program I know of which can preserve indents when a document is converted to plain text, is the full version of Duxbury. The tabs and centering codes are changed to spaces. I can't understand why PDI couldn't do something like that with KeyWord. I hope this message is of some help to you.
