What follows is my attempt of writing a tab stop script in AppleScript:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	tell active document
		tell every paragraph of story 1
			make tab stop
			set position of tab stop to 56.5
			set alignment of tab stop to right
			set leader of tab stop to "�"
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

I'm trying to make the tab stop without first having to select the text inside the box, since I don't want any user interference.

What I'm missing? An object reference?

... and by the way:
Is it posible to make the tab stop (with the properties alignment, leader and position) inside a paragraph style?

Thanks
Fernando
