I *think* what you mean there is that the layout works with whatever NSParagraphStyle’s default tab stops are — I think they’re set for one every half inch. However you have no guarantee that any word processing document the text gets pasted into has the same tab stops.
You’re setting up your layout in a manner that’s simple but extremely fragile and subject to a lot of assumptions about the environment; and then you want it to survive being transferred into a variety of very different apps. You can’t have both.
