Well, if I understand your question, it is possible to reconfigure
Word so that the default tab spacing is .75" instead of 0.5". From the
Format menu select the Document dialog box. In the lower right hand of
that dialog box is a box where you can set the default tab stops
spacing. Instead of 0.5 enter 0.75. As a result the tabs will be set
at 0.75", 1.5", 2.25", etc., from the left margin. If this is how you
want all your Word documents to be set up, click the "Use As Default"
button. Then every new Word document will have the tabs set to these
settings.

By the way, RTFM, pp. 163-164.
