I *think* what you mean there is that the layout works with whatever 
NSParagraphStyle’s default tab stops are — I think they’re set for one every 
half inch. However you have no guarantee that any word processing document the 
text gets pasted into has the same tab stops.

You’re setting up your layout in a manner that’s simple but extremely fragile 
and subject to a lot of assumptions about the environment; and then you want it 
to survive being transferred into a variety of very different apps. You can’t 
have both.
