David,

Adding tab characters to the document is not a problem. It's the _tab stops_ that cause grief. I wanted to be able to set a tab stop so that all the decimal points in the list of numbers were vertically aligned. This doesn't appear to be possible.

Thanks, Dale. A very useful suggestion.

I got the style working fine. Next I tried to set tab stops, but there
seems to be a bug in AW. Even trying to get the existing tab stops
causes the program to crash. Mr. Tea suggested using a stationery
document, which a am looking into.

Don:
The following example sets a tab at the beginning of the each paragraph
-----
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
make new document at front with data tab & "My First Paragraph" &
return & return & tab & "My Second Paragraph"
end tell
