Use the UNTABIFY Feature:

IN:     .xemacs/.init.el
  (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)          ##This will convert tabs to the 
appropriate number of spaces automatically

## Defining the following command "Ctrl-C u" (The key binding of course 
is your choice)
     Will automatically covert any Tabs already in a file to the 
appropriate number of spaces

(defalias 'untab
  (read-kbd-macro "C-x h M-x untabify RET"))
(global-set-key [(control c) u] 'untab)
