Unwanted tabs

I have a very large document created in Access and with multiple fields (45).
I copied this into spreadsheet to do some cross-field search and replace
routines then copied the completed text into Word.
Question: How do I get rid of the unwanted tabs created in the spreadsheet?
Or do I have to go through the whole Word file and manually delete each one
to create continuous text for each entry?
 
If you want no tabs at all anywhere, you can simply use Find/Replace
(Ctrl-H). In the upper Find What? box, type ^t (caret t), and in the
lower Replace With box, type nothing at all, and click Replace All.

If you need to replace each tab with a space, then in the Replace With
box, type a single space (you won't see anything in the box, but the
cursor will move over a little).

If you then end up with two or more spaces in a row here and there,
then do a Find/Replace with two spaces in the upper box and one in the
lower box; repeat until it reports 0 replacements.
