 The following settings apply to all text editors include Java and XML editors. To change these settings open the IDE preferences and go to ''General'' > ''Editors'' > ''Text Editors'':
 
-* '''Insert spaces for tabs''' will replace tabs with spaces and avoid mix of tabs and spaces which can result in misalignment in some systems. The number of spaces for each tab is specified in '''Displayed tab width'''.
+* '''Insert spaces for tabs''' will replace tabs with spaces and avoid mix of tabs and spaces which can result in misalignment in some systems. The number of spaces for each tab is specified in '''Displayed tab width'''. Keep in mind for Java Editors there is a separate setting for this.
 * '''Show line numbers''' will display the line number on the left side of the text editor. This helps when searching for bugs based on exception stacktraces or when talking with colleagues about the code.
 * '''Show whitespace characters''' similar to Word this will show spaces, tabs and returns. This is sometimes useful when lines are much indented or non-ASCII characters. The link ''configure visibility'' lets you choose which characters to show and also the transparency level.
