So what you’ll do here is select the invisible character you’d like to find… The pedant in me is SO ANGRY just looking at that. It’s not cool to try to use tabs to align the text in that way, because if you then make changes that cause the text to reflow, the document’s gonna get ugly. Yup, look at those tabs, sticking out there all…pointy. But if I go up and pick View> Show Invisibles, I can confirm that’s the case. I can tell something’s off because the left margin (indicated by my arrow) is set way over from where the text is, so I figure that whoever wrote this document added in tabs where he wasn’t supposed to. So first, let’s take a look at the example text I’ve got here. Deleting a bunch of tab characters by hand may just be my own personal hell. As I mentioned, you can see which ones you’ve got by choosing View> Show Invisibles.īut here’s a pickle: What if you’re editing a document, and you find that its formatting is all messed up because of tons of those invisible characters? Is there any way to do a find and replace on them so that you don’t have to go through and delete 476 tabs, for example, that were being used to adjust margins incorrectly? I am very thankful that we can do just that.

Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I wrote a tip about how to recognize invisible characters in Pages and what their silly symbols mean.
