     Yeah, that's what you get when you rely on default tab stops in almost
_any_ word processor. I'd sugegst that you instead switch to defining your
own tab stops, exactly where you need them. That way, you'll always be
one tab away from the next position rather than one, two, or three
depending on the length of word and width of font.
