[Solved] Set tabs for multiple paragraphs

[TomDo]

Hi,
In my doc I may have different tabs due to an old style or a cut and past from a different doc.
I am a Mac user and with Pages I just high lite the area and I can change multiple tabs to the new one I have chosen.
I know how to create a tab but to change all to a different setting I am finding impossible to do with Apache Open Office.
What am I doing wrong, or is it not possible to do a block and I have to do it one at a time.

You have to use a paragraph style and then set the tab parameters in the 'Tabs' tab of the paragraph style properties.
This discussion has some relevant links: [Solved] Tab stops disappear from ruler when selecting 2nd paragraph.

Thank you, I tried using the search but I guess I worded it wrong for the search to find it.

But again thank you.

In the Find and Replace dialog/more options/Attributes button, one of the choices is Tab Stops.

A find all will select all the paragraphs with added tab stops and you can change them with the ruler.

Edit: selecting a block of text and setting tabs using the ruler should work as well

Thank You all for the advice
