Hi,

    I need to get the value Tab Position of Bullet and Numbering Options of Paragraph Style.

If i use the below code its returning the tab position of Tabs Options. But i need to get the tab position value of Bullet and Numbering Options.

Code :

tab = parStyle.tabList;

for(var tc = 0; tc < tab.length; tc++)

{

    tabX = tab[tc].position;

    tabLeader = tab[tc].leader;

    tabAlignOn = tab[tc].alignmentCharacter;      

}

Can anyone help me?

Jarek,

if you set your values e.g. to Left Indent: 20 mm, First Line Indent 20 mm, Tab Position 50,8 mm, you will get autoamtically a tab on the ruler in the tabs bar. However: If you delete the tab in the ruler, the value in the bullets and numbering dialog is still alive and honored.

If you try to control this value, there is no tabStops[0]  >> therefore no possibility to control the position ?! Sudha is this your problem?

Hi Kai,

Agree, thats how semi-automated feature works - something is going on in background but don't touch it cause "semi" starts to work against you. Microsoft Office has much more "successes" here.

Try this,

tab = parStyle.tabStops;


for(var tc = 0; tc < tab.length; tc++)


{


    tabX = tab[tc].position;


    tabLeader = tab[tc].leader;


    tabAlignOn = tab[tc].alignment;      


}

Hi,

   What is the difference between tabStops and tabList??? Both return the same.

  tabStops return tabs used in document (tabs options + tab position in Bullet and Numbering).  How can i get the tab position (Bullet and Numbering) alone using script??

To my knowledge there is no property for Bullet and Numbering Tab position, but the actual tabList property ("tabX = tab[tc].position" in your code) will return the Bullets and Numbering tab position, then why you need that property?
