Sorry for asking so many questions, but I don't know how many questions I'm allowed to ask.

Thanks in advance

Re: How do you change the tab indent size in OpenOffice?

Ask as many questions as you like, but remember that you may find answers faster by reading the Help - then you don't need for us to answer your question.

The tab indent is part of the paragraph formatting, so you can find the tool to change the tabs in the Format - Paragraph dialog box, on the Tabs tab. If you want to change the tab indents for many paragraphs, you should modify the paragraph style (uses the same dialog window).

This the LibreOffice dialog box, but the one for OpenOffice is very similar.
