Documents remember their own settings if those changes were made individually 
using the Text Options panel.

You can restore them to the (current) global preferences by using "Normalize 
Options", on the Edit menu.

Simple question: Forgetting BBEdit savings for documents

[David Stein]

Simple question regarding tabs vs. spaces:

I've been using BBEdit to write some Python scripts. To date, I've used 
spaces for indenting, and I've used the "Auto-Expand Tabs" option to insert 
spaces when I hit the Tab key.

Recently, I switched to using tabs. I turned off "Auto-Expand Tabs," and I 
find that on new files, BBEdit inserts tabs instead of spaces. Also, I've 
run "Change Spaces to Tabs" on my existing scripts. So far, so good.

The problem is that BBEdit continues to insert spaces instead of tabs when 
I hit the Tab key.

I cannot find any way to persuade BBEdit to forget its previous settings 
for documents. It's like BBEdit has cached the previous settings somewhere, 
and I can't dump the cache or force it to refresh with the current BBEdit 
settings.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
