The tabs and spacing change because the font is different between Gedit and the application you pasted the text into. Gedit using monospaced fonts by default because those fonts show system and code files consistently. Applications like Abiword use proportional fonts that look very nice in most cases, but have irregular spacing. Some applications permit you to format part of the text. For example, you can select the pasted text in Abiword and change the font to the same font used by Gedit to preserve the presentation. > The other thing is the amount of space taken up by all the toolbars > etc. They don't seem to have the capability of being removed as in > Mozilla.
