Is there a quick and easy way to get rid of tabs?

I keep getting the warning about one or more tabs, just curious if there is a quick and easy way to get rid of it. I already did try to copy paste to Notepad but without any success.

Search for tabs; replace with spaces.

How to do that depends on the program you're using but usually, select/highlight a tab character, hit control + f (or sometimes F3), in the "Replace" box, put the number of spaces you want a tab to become, then "replace all".

This may also help: When I want to compose outside the browser I use a Notepad replacement (EditPad) which allows me to set it so that when I hit the tab key, it inserts spaces instead of tabs.
