How to remove tabstop inherited from style

[Robin Dostal]

Hello,

i want to remove a tabstop from a paragraph that gets inherited from a paragraphstyle without removing itself from the style.

I cant find anything in the documentation and the posts on the forum are so old that the samples are no longer available.

Codesnitppet:

var doc = new WordDocument();

var s = doc.AddSection();
var p = s.AddParagraph();
var normal = doc.Styles.FindByName("Normal") as WParagraphStyle;
normal.ParagraphFormat.Tabs.AddTab(300, TabJustification.Centered, TabLeader.NoLeader); // Tabstop in the style
p.ApplyStyle("Normal");

p.AppendText("blub1\tblub2\tblub3");

p.ParagraphFormat.Tabs.AddTab().DeletePosition = 300; // doesn't do anything

doc.Save("tab.docx");

Best regards
