Attributes
Unit
Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is DP. For details about DP, see Units of measure.
F
Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.
If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.
Err
Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

By default, the DefaultTabStop element inherits this interval value from style 0—the default style for all Microsoft Visio documents. This default value is 0.5 inches for documents using imperial units, and 15mm for documents using metric units.
The DefaultTabStop element is relevant only when contained in a Shape or StyleSheet element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet or PageSheet element.
