Hi all,
I am writing a script to nudge the tabStop positions of selected text by one point at a time. Sometimes it will be only a tab character selected, and other times it could be several in the paragraph or maybe even the whole story. The problem I am encountering is that when I reference the tabStops as app.selection[0].tabStops it includes ALL the tabStops in the paragraph and NOT just the selected ones. Is there a way to get just the selected tabStops and add a point to their positions? It must be that my referencing is flawed. Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Len Swierski
