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
