A semi-newbie question...

Does anyone know how to put a right-tab symbol into a textframe? I have successfully placed control characters (like a carriage-return) in them, but do not know what ascii value inDesign is looking for in regards to a right-tab.

I am using the following code:

_myInsertionPoint.TextContents = theText

And want theText to be something like:

Usher [right tab here] Dean Kroon
Best Man [right tab here] John Doe
Brides Maids [right tab here] Jane Doe
[right tab here] Jill Doe

And so on...

Thanks,
  Dean Kroon
