I need to add multiple tab characters to the beginning of text in a cell. Then I need to copy this string into Notepad (with tab characters at the beginning). After pasting into Notepad, instead of a tab, a space is obtained. Is there a solution? Best Regards!
Use another character (say: “·”, the middle dot), and when in Notepad, copy a tab space, and replace all the middle dot with the tab.
How do you add the tab character at the beginning of a cell? Thanks.

@Frants,
You has not shared what do you need to do. Maybe there are an easy workaround (i.e., a table in Writer).
Please describe the real task and not how you think to solve it.
I used CHAR() function. Another time I used the search/replace dialog, a sequence of characters (a stub instead of a tab, for example, “qwerty”) was replaced with a regular expression ( \t ). But that’s all … does not work. I will take your advice, thank you!
