VI paste out of alignment

VI paste out of alignment
We have a guy at work who is trying to copy and paste from one file to another using vi and highlighting the code to copy with a mouse.
Source file:
xyz 123 abc 999
zyx 321 cba 999
xyz 123 abc 999
But when he pastes it he gets (I put the underlines in to show the layout they are just spaces on his screen):
__xyz 123 abc 999
____zyx 321 cba 999
______xyz 123 abc 999
So it looks to me like his tabs are setup wrongly. I tried the same operation using my user and it works fine for me and keeps it's oringinal alignment.
Any thoughts on what is wrong (and more importantly how to fix it!
)?
