Joaquin,

Strange indeed that that doesn't work. You can get around it by using this method:



function TabStopper (myPosition, xx){ 
   myTable.columns.item(xx).cells.everyItem().texts[0].tabList =  
	[{position:6, alignment:TabStopAlignment.CHARACTER_ALIGN, alignmentCharacter:")"}]; 
}



When you set a tabList like this, any other tabstops are deleted, and this works in CS3. (CS4 restores CS2's behaviour.)
