How to change tab size in C++BuilderX source editor

I would like to change the tab size in C++BuilderX source editor to be 4 spaces. Have looked at various options in the IDE and Project Properties. Please respond only if you have actually done it.
Thanks xschmitt

The setting is in Project | Properties - under the Formatting tab in

version 1 or under the Basic Formatting (affects all file types) or
C++ Formatting (affects only C++ files) node in later versions. If you
want it to affect all projects, then you should set it for the default
project.
In version 1 there is a bug - the tab setting will not be used for a
file that is active in the editor when the program is opened. If you
close the file and reopen it your tab setting will be used. See
QC6273 for more info on this.

Note that this will affect all *new* projects that are created after you

make this change but not existing ones. Any existing project will still
need to be changed separately.
