Importing RTF Template

[Pointyhead]

I excerpt from a previous post found here ( http://forum.redlers.com/viewtopic.php? ... import+rtf ) that got onto to a different topic :

Quote :
'When importing an rtf file, Mellel produces a document with what appear to be certain default settings.

Some of these settings clearly come my default template (background color, e.g.), but others (paragraph style and note style, e.g.) do not.
[...]
Are these settings assigned by the conversion process, or is there a (ghost?) template somewhere that can be edited?'
End Quote.

I find it bothersome that one aspect of this 'ghost' template is that it adds tabs (every half-inch) to a document that has no tabs. This makes it hard for me to sort out how to Replace Styles ... Paragraphs, as all the tab 'overrides' make it confusing.
