Unwanted Tabs Magically Appearing

[Guest]

Word 2000 SP3
Is there a patch to stop unnecessary tabs appearing?
I have created several styles to cover Bullets as well as the TOC styles,
but have found that during writing and formatting, unnecessary tabs appear
from nowhere it seems, which then messes up the styles and the document. The
styles have no links to any other styles, and the new tabs sometimes don’t
even appear in the Tabs dialog, only on the ruler.
Obviously I clean up the styles or drag the tab marker from the ruler, but
they tend to reappear several days later.

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Suzanne.
So basically we are all screwed (those still on 2000 that is).
Many thanks for your time.

Pretty much, I think. Does the article suggest any workarounds?
