default tab stops

[PatchogueUMC]

I have changed the default tab stops in a publication to 0.3" instead of
0.5". However, very often when I open the publication the default tab stops
are set back to 0.5".
Is there a way to remedy this?

Was this an older file?
Custom tabs that you previously set in Publisher 2000 are not saved when you
save a publication in Publisher 2002 or in Publisher 2003

No, I have Publisher 2003 and this happens whenever I create a document and
change the default tab stops.

Do you have the service pack?

I don't have Office 2003 service pack 2 installed. (I though I had enabled
automatic updates but I guess I hadn't.) It sounds like it does address this
problem so I will install it and see what happens.

I did install the updates but I'm still having the same problem with
documents I had created before the installation. Maybe it will fix the
problem when I create new documents.
