Cool,that works well for what I want to do. I have one remaining issue
though. I have set tab stops and the xGrid properties to make it look like
a table, but I need one of the columns to be right-justified and I don;t
think I can do that with this method since the textALign property applies
to the whole line.
May be I need to look at the more complex, arraybased, styledText property?
The array is just a different representation of what you can do with the
individual commands. But you're right, alignment is paragraph-only, you
can't apply it to tabs. Sigh. And here I'd almost converted you. :(
Back in the olden days when we had no other choice, we'd use a
monospaced font and add spaces to simulate column alignment. That's not
so impressive any more, though in some cases it still works.
