SYMPTOMS
Notepad does not print tab characters that occur at the beginning of a line. They are displayed on the screen properly, but will not show up in the printed output. A document created in Notepad such as

Non Tabbed Line

Tabbed Line

123 TEST

would print the following:

Non Tabbed Line

Tabbed Line

123 TEST



RESOLUTION
As a workaround, you can place a space at the beginning of the line and then use the Tab key. For example, enter the following text in Notepad:

Tabbed Line

Space and then Tab

123 TEST

This text will print as:

  Tabbed Line Space and then Tab 123  TEST



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
