Looks close to what I have... you can try this and see if it works any beter. ;;;;;;; ;; Tab code thanks to JWZ: http://www.jwz.org/doc/tabs-vs-spaces.html ; Auto expand tabs to spaces, at modulo 4 (setq tab-width 4) (setq indent-tabs-mode nil) ; On file write, expand all tabs to spaces (defun text-mode-untabify () (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward "[ \t]+$" nil t) (delete-region (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0))) (goto-char (point-min)) (if (search-forward "\t" nil t) (untabify (1- (point)) (point-max)))) nil) (add-hook 'java-mode-hook '(lambda () (make-local-variable 'write-contents-hooks) (add-hook 'write-contents-hooks 'text-mode-untabify))) ;;;;;;; Jason -- Jason Healy | [EMAIL PROTECTED] LogN Systems | http://www.logn.net/
