How To Insert Special Characters

Hey,

I can't figure out how to insert special characters into a paragraph (the "Indent to Here" in this case).

I tried text_frame.paragraphs[0].contents +=  SpecialCharacters.INDENT_HERE_TAB;  but all I get is "1397319796" instead of the actual character.

How to insert special characters instead of those numbers?

What, you mean that in the 5 minutes since you posted it no-one answered? Shocking indeed.

As you aleady found out by yourself, "contents" is the wrong type of object to stuff "SpecialCharacters" in. "contents" is the contents of text, translated into a plain Javascript string. Only when you change a single 'character', you can use "SpecialCharacters", because at that point Extendscript will see you don't want to change the "entire" string?

Only with Adobe's creation could you have a full language manual and a forum, and still have no clue how to do the simplests of things...

No, that 50 people who were curious enough to read the message didn't know the answer. And that language reference doesn't provide a single shred of info on how to use those special characters. That's what's shocking.

Thanks. What I found is that if I use assignment, instead of +=, then the special character is added without replacing the string.
