Tabstops

[Esanders323]

Hi,

I'm trying to use tabstops for a line. The line has two words. I want the first word to be left aligned and for the other word to be on the other side on the right. I found CTTabStop but I'm slightly confused how I can use it.

For instance, here is what I want in my document.
WordOne WordTwo

Here is what I'm trying to do

Code: Select all

         ObjectFactory factory;
         factory = Context.getWmlObjectFactory();
         WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = null;
         CTTabStop ts = factory.createCTTabStop();
         ts.setPos();

How can I set the position of the tabstop?

Thanks!

I suggest you create a docx (in Microsoft Word say) which looks as you describe, then save it, and upload it to the webapp (linked in the menu above).

With a bit of luck, that will generate the relevant code for you. If so, please post it here for the next person.

If you don't know how to create the sample docx, just let us know.

I created the sample docx and uploaded it. I'm not really too sure what I'm doing with the webapp, but I got this. I'm not too sure what to look for

You need to click through to the main document part (word/document.xml), at which point you should see the XML representing your document, then click on the w:p containing your tabbed stuff

Worked great! Things for the help!

Code: Select all
