For some SW documentation which needs to include code snippets I want
to specify two styles both using courier font size 8:

one for code that was written with a tab-distance equivalent to four
blanks (which yields a tab every 25.634 px),
and another for code snippets that were written with a tabdistance of
8 (which yields a tab distance of 51.25 px) in Word.
Both styles are paragraph styles based on "Normal".

But for some strange reason, when I specify the tab-distance the tab
stops are not onlhy changed for the paragraphs of that style but also
in paragraphs that have a "Normal" style and hence - I guess since it
is also based on Normal also in the respective other tab-distance
style.

It seems as if one can not have two styles with different tab
settings. Is that true? If not: how can I achive this?
