programming tabs

[rocco]

Hello,
I work heavily with VBA in Access but I'm quite new programming word. I'm
able to manage range and Bookmark but I usually start from a template were
everything is already settled up.
What i need to know is:
is it possible to style the documents using tabs by code? I need to create
many tabs, each at different point in the document (ie… in the middle of the
page...close to the right edge of the page..and so on).
I mean can I handle Tabs by code? Which object should I use to create and
manipulate them?
I have done a search in the forum…but it seems there are no hints regarding
tabs.

Thanks,
Rocco

Hi Rocco,

You can use something like the following to get you started

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).TabStops.Add _
Position:=InchesToPoints(1.5), _
Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight, _
Leader:=wdTabLeaderDots

HTH,
