= SYMPTOMS =

If a tab has been set in several paragraphs, but not the first paragraph of a Microsoft Works for MS-DOS Word Processor document, choosing Tabs Delete from the Format menu does not delete the tab.

For example, create a document that has three paragraphs. Highlight the last two paragraphs and set a tab at 4.5 inches. Then highlight the whole document by pressing the F8 key four times, choose ALT, T, T (for Format Tabs), type 4.5, and press ALT, L (to delete), then press ALT, D (for done). The tab is not deleted in the two paragraphs.

Note: This problem does not occur when the tab is set in any number of paragraphs, which include the first paragraph, or if you highlight all paragraphs except the first paragraph.
