If I click in the middle of a table cell or in an empty paragraph, OpenOffice.org insert tabs in front of the cursor position. How do I stop this?

This is caused by a default setting of the OpenOffice.org interface called 'Direct Cursor'. To change this behavior:

From the pull down menus, select: Tools -> Options

In the dialog that appears, select: Text Document - Cursor

Change the 'Insert' value to 'Left Paragraph Margin' (it was set to 'Tabs')

Click on OK

Apache OpenOffice is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
