Different tab settings within a class

Is it possible to custom set the tabs for a single document within a class, e.g: My .txt class tab is set to 24 chars, but in one document, I need 32 chars?

1. Close all other copies of TextPad.
2. Close all open documents, INCLUDING THE DEFAULT NEW BLANK DOCUMENT.
3. Configure/Preferences/Document Classes
4. Expand the class to be modified.
5. Tabulation
6. Enter desired values.

Repeat steps 4-6 above for each Document Class

7. Apply and OK your way out the configurations.
8. Close TextPad.
9. Open TextPad again, and your changes should be good.

Bob, in which way does it help for having different tabs for _one_ document in a class?
What you suggest is setting the tabulation for complete classes.

To set tabulation for one document in a document class:

With the "special" document as active document:
View - Document Properties, Tabulation Tab, set Tab options for that document.

This will be lost if the document is closed and opened again.

Exception: if you use a workspace, the information for the non-class-standard tabs is saved in the workspace.

For MudGuard - You are right, it does nothing. I misread the need to only do one document, and thought the question was how to set tabls for a whole class. Thanks for checking on me.....
