Why on earth are you using tabs instead of paragraph indents? Inserting tabs makes future edits a nightmare. Furthermore, even if tabs are required, there is no need to select anything; nor do you need to know anything about how many columns there are on the page.

Finally, there is nothing in your code to indicate you've made even the slightest attempt to integrate the code in post #6 with what you're doing.

PS: When posting code, please use the code tags, indicated by the # button on the posting menu.
