Method Details
add(position, options)
Returns a TabStop object that represents a custom tab stop added to the paragraph.

-
number
The position of the tab stop.
- options
- Word.TabStopAddOptions
Optional. The options to further configure the new tab stop.
Returns
Remarks
after(Position)
Returns the next TabStop object to the right of the specified position.
after(Position: number): Word.TabStop;Parameters
- Position
-
number
The position to check.
Returns
Remarks
before(Position)
Returns the next TabStop object to the left of the specified position.
before(Position: number): Word.TabStop;Parameters
- Position
-
number
The position to check.
Returns
Remarks
clearAll()
Clears all the custom tab stops from the paragraph.
clearAll(): void;Returns
void
Remarks
getItem(index)
Note
This API is provided as a preview for developers and may change based on feedback that we receive. Do not use this API in a production environment.
Gets a TabStop object by its index in the collection.
getItem(index: number): Word.TabStop;Parameters
- index
-
number
The location of a TabStop object.
Returns
Remarks
load(options)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(options?: Word.Interfaces.TabStopCollectionLoadOptions & Word.Interfaces.CollectionLoadOptions): Word.TabStopCollection;Parameters
Provides options for which properties of the object to load.
Returns
load(propertyNames)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): Word.TabStopCollection;Parameters
- propertyNames
-
string | string[]
A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.
Returns
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: OfficeExtension.LoadOption): Word.TabStopCollection;Parameters
- propertyNamesAndPaths
- OfficeExtension.LoadOption
propertyNamesAndPaths.select is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.
Returns
toJSON()
Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Word.TabStopCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Word.Interfaces.TabStopCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.
toJSON(): Word.Interfaces.TabStopCollectionData;Returns
track()
Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created. If this object is part of a collection, you should also track the parent collection.
track(): Word.TabStopCollection;Returns
untrack()
Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.
untrack(): Word.TabStopCollection;
