How to make indents 4 spaces instead of a tab character

I want to have 4 spaces instead of a tab character wherever I have indentation in my Java codes. Can this be done in TextPad ? I don't see an option for this in any of the menus.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Go to
Configure->Preferences->Document Classes->Java->Tabulation
and play away!

I figured this one out myself. Here's the trick:

Configure -> Preferences -> Document Classes -> Java -> Tabulation

Set the indent size to four and check both boxes for setting tabs to spaces.
