A "How do I?" on Tabs

[Doodah]

I use a template created by my employer to create large reports, with numbered paragraphs. There is an extra tab which causes the second and subsequent lines of each paragraph to be indented, which looks messy. I know I can just pull the tab off the bar on each paragraph individually to fix it, but is there a way to remove this tab from the whole document in one go?

It sounds as if you are not using styles for your numbered paragraphs. If
you were, it would be easy to fix this by modifying the style. In any case,
tabs and indents in numbered paragraphs need to be modified through Format |
Bullets and Numbering rather than through the Tabs or Paragraph dialog. See

You might think twice about modifying your version of a template that
everyone in your office uses, because documents created/modified by you
might not look the same when opened by one of your coworkers.
