2.2.8.3 Tabs Properties

The tp_Type element in a shape or master specifies the beginning of a text run and the set of tab stops used for the text run. These tab stops are used until the end of the Text_Type element, or until another tp_Type element specifies new tab stops.

The tp_Type element specifies the index of a Row_Type element that is contained in a Tabs Section_Type element. This Row_Type element specifies the information about the tab stops using a collection of Cell_Type elements. It is either contained under the ShapeSheet_Type element for the shape or it is inherited.

A Row_Type element in a Tabs Section_Type element contains a series of Position and Alignment Cell_Type element pairs with N attributes equal to Position# and Alignment#, where the # represents the tab stop index. A Position and Alignment pair specifies the stop position and alignment for a single tab stop.
