Thank you so very much, Brian. This did the trick.
Are there other letters I can use in conjunction with the caret key to
remove other unwanted symbols like spaces or carriage returns?
Again, my sincere thanks to you.

Hello Pete,
If you want to remove all tabs in the document you can use the Find and
Replace dialog box. When you use CTRL+H the Remove tab of the dialog box
is
in focus. In the Find What edit box type ^t (that is a shift with the
number 6 for the caret followed by a lower case t. Tab to the Replace
with
box and if you don't want to replace with anything then keep tabbing but
if
you want to replace the tabs with a space or something else put what you
want in that edit field. You can then tab to either the Replace button or
Replace All button. If you use the replace all choice then all tabs will
be
replaced with whatever was in the Replace With field. If you just use the
Replace button you will go one occurrence at a time. You can use insert
key
with C to read the sentence or line containing the tab this way and if you
don't want to remove the particular tab then just go to the Find Next
button
and find the next occurrence of a tab. .
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Removing Unwanted Tabs From A Word Document
Hi all.
I am trying to remove several unwanted tabs from a document someone sent
me
recently.
I thought I could do it with Control+H before I realized I didn't know how
to convey to "Word" that I wanted to remove the tabs.
I am currently using MS Word 2007. Any help would be grately appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Pete
