Hi all,

Anyone please help me to complete my javascript coding. I want to create a paragraph style through script as a bullet character, everything is fine, but the bullet character has a tab separation is too long.

Coding:

var doc = app.activeDocument;

doc.paragraphStyles.add({name:"Bullets", appliedFont:"Arial", fontStyle: "Regular", pointSize:7, leading:10.5, bulletsAndNumberingListType: ListType.BULLET_LIST});

I am getting output like this see the image below

But I want the output something like this, How to set a tab position to 6pt?

Thank you

The following should do the trick

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var a = doc.paragraphStyles.add({name:"Bullets", appliedFont:"Arial", fontStyle: "Regular", pointSize:7, leading:10.5, bulletsAndNumberingListType: ListType.BULLET_LIST});
a.tabStops.add({position:"0p6"})
