I know it's staring back at me, but where to I change the use of tabs to
"insert spaces"?
 
Format > Tabs - or better still associate the required tab settings with the
paragraph style. Tabs should be used with restraint. Make use also of
indents.

When you press Tab, is the paragraph being indented? If so, you need to
disable this feature as follows:

Word 2007: Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | AutoCorrect Options |
AutoFormat As You Type: "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and
backspaces."

Word 2002 and 2003: Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type:
"Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces."

Word 2000 and earlier: Tools | Options | Edit: "Tabs and backspace set left
indent."
