Tabs

[Icecold]

Does anyone know how to set the tabs in quark with an applescript. The tabs are in the style menu tabs. I want the position at 111.1 with the fill Characters !

tell application “QuarkXpress”
tell document 1
set tab of text box 1 in position 111.1 fill characters !
end tell
end tell

This works for me (of course adjust your text box index, paragraph index, tab justification, etc.):

tell application “QuarkXPress™ 4.11”
tell document 1
tell text box 1
tell story 1
–for more information, set some tabs in paragraph 1 then uncomment the next line
–return tab list of paragraph 1
set tab list of paragraph 1 to {{justification:leftjust, fill character:“!”, position:111.1 as point units}}
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
