How to change tab stops in a completed document with Pages?

Question

I switched from WordPerfect to Pages and have struggled with figuring things out. I have a membership list I do each year with names addresses, phones, etc. I used a right tab to put the phone numbers out on the right margin. Now I find my originally defined margins are off, and I want to change that right tab. I seem to be able to do this only one name at a time: very tedious. Is there a way to change it for the entire list all at once?

Answer 1

Here is a short script allowing us to select every paragraph starting with a TAB character.
Of course, we may edit it allowing it to select paragraphs matching an other criteria.
--(SCRIPT selectparagraphs_starting_withtab]
Apply this script to a Pages document.
Every paragraph starting with a TAB character will be selected.
You may aplly some settings to all of them in a single operation.

set my L to {}
tell first document
set N to count of paragraphs
repeat with P from 1 to N
if character 1 of paragraph P is tab then copy (a reference to paragraph P) to the end of my L
end repeat
