If I click in the middle of a table cell or in an empty paragraph, OpenOffice.org inserts tabs in front of the cursor position. How do I stop this?
This is caused by a setting in the OpenOffice.org interface called Direct Cursor. To change this behavior:
- From the main menu bar, select Tools > Options.
- In the dialog that appears, select OpenOffice.org Writer > Formatting Aids.
- Change the 'Insert' value to 'Left Paragraph Margin' (it was set to 'Tabs').
- Click OK.
