VBA-Tabstops

[Edward]

Hi everybody,
Adding tabstops to a table in PP2003 is a cell by cell process I want to
automate this and I know the code

ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Table.Cell(1,
1).Shape.TextFrame.Ruler.TabStops.Add ppTabStopLeft, 72

I can loop through this code for a specific range of cells and add all the
tabs. I want to be able to read the tabstop ( I need to know whats a tabstop
number for a specific cell or even type of tabstop ) is this possible?

I thought maybe I can create a tabstop object and then use it
set tb=ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Table.Cell(1,
1).Shape.TextFrame.Ruler.TabStops.Add( ppTabStopLeft, 72)

now somehow assign the tb to a new cell but I couldn't do it.
Any suggestions?

I've never used VBA to work with tab stops in cells, but wouldn't

..TabStops(1).Type
..TabStops(1).Position

get you the type and position of tab stop #1. You could loop through the
tab stops (For i = 1 to .TabStops.Count ...) and get whatever
information you need.

If this isn't what you had in mind, I'm not quite sure what you're
asking for.
