adjust tab values with script

Hi Joseph I am a bit late to the party here but I was trying to work out the same problem and I think I have an answer. I will leave it below just in case anyone else comes across the same problem.

The issue is that the code above will only work on the paragraph with an index of 0 (the first paragraph).

To make it affect all of the paragraphs you have to make the function loop through all of the paragraphs and add the stop it to each one. 

addParStops(30);
function addParStops(parStopPosition){
     var paragraph = app.selection[0].paragraphs;

     for (i = 0; i < paragraph.length; i++) {
          paragraph[i].tabStops.add
          (
               {
                    alignment : TabStopAlignment.LEFT_ALIGN,
                    position : parStopPosition
               }
          );
     }
}

The above function I wrote so that it can be called each time I want to add a tab stop and all I need to give it is the position value.

To remove all of the tab stops you would also need to loop through all of them such as the below.

function removeParStops(){
     var paragraph = app.selection[0].paragraphs;

     for (i = 0; i < paragraph.length; i++) {
          paragraph[i].tabStops.everyItem().remove();
     }

}
