I can tell something’s off because the left margin (indicated by my arrow) is set way over from where the text is, so I figure that whoever wrote this document added in tabs where he wasn’t supposed to. So first, let’s take a look at the example text I’ve got here. Deleting a bunch of tab characters by hand may just be my own personal hell. As I mentioned, you can see which ones you’ve got by choosing View> Show Invisibles.īut here’s a pickle: What if you’re editing a document, and you find that its formatting is all messed up because of tons of those invisible characters? Is there any way to do a find and replace on them so that you don’t have to go through and delete 476 tabs, for example, that were being used to adjust margins incorrectly? I am very thankful that we can do just that. Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I wrote a tip about how to recognize invisible characters in Pages and what their silly symbols mean.
