{
wordProcessor.LoadDocument("FirstLook.docx");
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
document.Unit = DocumentUnit.Inch;
// Access first paragraph tabs
TabInfoCollection tabs = document.Paragraphs[0].BeginUpdateTabs(true);
// Set the first tab stop at 2.5 inch
TabInfo tab1 = new TabInfo();
tab1.Position = 2.5f;
tab1.Alignment = TabAlignmentType.Left;
tab1.Leader = TabLeaderType.MiddleDots;
tabs.Add(tab1);
// Set the second tab stop at 5.5 inch
TabInfo tab2 = new TabInfo();
tab2.Position = 5.5f;
tab2.Alignment = TabAlignmentType.Decimal;
tab2.Leader = TabLeaderType.EqualSign;
tabs.Add(tab2);
