# TabPositions Object (ITabPositions Interface)

This object provides access to all tab stops in a single paragraph. It is a collection of child objects of the [TabPosition](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/text-related-objects/tabposition) type. The object provides standard collection functionality. The TabPositions object is accessed via the [IParagraph::TabPositions](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/text-related-objects/paragraph#tabpositions) property.

* The indexing of ABBYY FineReader Engine collections starts with 0.
* The foreach statement in C# (for each in Visual Basic .NET) can be used to manipulate the collection.
