How do I stop OpenOffice.org from inserting tabs in front of the cursor position?

If I click in the middle of a table cell or in an empty paragraph, OpenOffice.org inserts tabs in front of the cursor position. How do I stop this?

This is caused by a setting in the OpenOffice.org interface called Direct Cursor. To change this behavior:

From the main menu bar, select Tools > Options.
In the dialog that appears, select OpenOffice.org Writer > Formatting Aids.
Under the Direct Cursor section, change the 'Insert' value to 'Left Paragraph Margin'.
Click OK.
