TabStops Property

Microsoft PowerPoint Visual Basic

Returns a TabStops collection that represents the tab stops for the specified text. Read-only.

Example

This example adds a slide with two text columns to the active presentation, sets a left-aligned tab stop for the title on the new slide, aligns the title box to the left, and assigns title text utilizing the tab stop just created.

With Application.ActivePresentation.Slides _
        .Add(2, ppLayoutTwoColumnText).Shapes
    With .Title.TextFrame
        With .Ruler
            .Levels(1).FirstMargin = 0
            .TabStops.Add ppTabStopLeft, 310
        End With
        .TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignLeft
        .TextRange = "first column" + Chr(9) + "second column"
    End With
End With
