MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / October 2005tabstop at right margin
I wantt to write a macro to insert a right align tabstop just at the right margin of the the document. the .rightmargin in VBA only give the point from the right edge of the document. Hence, Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add Position:= .rightmargin, Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight, Leader:=wdTabLeaderSpaces only add the tabstop at the, say, 90 points from the LEFT edge of the document. Thanks Position:= (Activedocument.PageSetup.PageWidth - Activedocument.PageSetup.RightMargin - Activedocument.PageSetup.LeftMargin) >I wantt to write a macro to insert a right align tabstop just at the right > margin of the the document. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add Position:=ActiveDocument.PageSetup.rightmargin when I tried the above, the tabstop was set at the point from the left margin, that is, the same distance of the margin from the paper edge, but now it is from the left margin. > Position:= (Activedocument.PageSetup.PageWidth - > Activedocument.PageSetup.RightMargin - Activedocument.PageSetup.LeftMargin) [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > > > Thanks Use Dim pos As Double With ActiveDocument.PageSetup pos = .PageWidth - .LeftMargin - .RightMargin End With Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add Position:=pos, Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight  SignatureHope this helps.

When I recorded creating a right-aligned tab, I get this: Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add Position:=InchesToPoints(6.5), _ Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight, Leader:=wdTabLeaderSpaces I'm sorry I don't know how to say "right margin", but you can specify the location in inches. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com >I wantt to write a macro to insert a right align tabstop just at the right > margin of the the document.
