In the configure dialogue window, go down to the Editing section in the left menu and set the number of spaces to use in both the General tab (under Tabulators) and the Indentation tab (under Indentation Properties. If they are both different then you have to hit the tab key 4 times in order for your spaces to be replaced by a tab character. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
