Justify text at Tab

[MeSteve]

I have a powerpoint with a text box that when entering text if you hit Tab,
the cursur moves to the right margin and typing continues from there right
justified. A single tab is the break between left justified and right
justified. How can I set this property in PPT and VBA? Thanks.

ex.
this is my text<Tab> 11 Sep
this is more text<Tab> 11 Sep

Maybe something like (assuming textbox is selected):

Sub tabset()
Dim oTxtBox As Shape
Set oTxtBox = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
With oTxtBox.TextFrame
..TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignLeft
..Ruler.TabStops.Add ppTabStopRight, (oTxtBox.Width + oTxtBox.Left)
End With
Set oTxtBox = Nothing
End Sub
