Thanks for your assistance ...

Actually, my impression is that it isn't so much a programming question as
"What should the rtf file look like?"

I'm been doing lots of "trial and error" to get a rtf file to look ok with
WordPad, and then figure out how to generate it. I use a text editor (such
as NotePad) to "fuss with" the rtf, then save and open with WordPad, and see
what it looks like.

It would be best to post this in one of the VBA groups where the
programmers hang out. It is beyond my expertise!

Thanks for the reply ... I hadn't heard of "right aligned tabs", but
looked at the RTF 1.5 spec and found \tqr.

I'm fuzzy on how to use this. Also, the size of CRichEdit control (using
MFC) is variable because the end-user can drag the size to be narrower.
I'm wondering is this would influence how to specify the \tqr value(s).

In the original question, I had a very simple "header", but there are
actually indentations, "out-dentations", and left aligned tabs specified.
The actual header looks like this:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1...
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\fi-450\li450\tx450\tx700\tx950\nowidctlpar\fs36

It would be Very Helpful to see the revised rtf (Line 1 thru Line 7) to
accomplish your answer.

You need to use a right-aligned tab on the paragraphs when you are
trying to 'shuffle right'. Or if you really want the dot leaders (rather
than it just being for clarity in this plain text post), you need to use
a right aligned tab leader.

I'm trying to right-justify part of a line that I'm generating with a
C++ program. I'm familiar with the the \qr and \qc and \ql to justify
right, center, and left respectively.

If I embed a \qr within a paragraph, then the entire paragraph is right
justified. I want to have just the text after the \qr be right
justified on the same line, and the text before the \qr remain left
justified on the same line.

This is the equivalent of what I want to generate (first part is
standard, simple rtf header):

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1...
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\nowidc...
Line 1 with standard left justification (slj)\par
Line 2 with slj and then \qr right justified\par
Line 3 with slj\ql\par
Line 4 with standard left justification (slj)\par
Line 5 with slj and then \line\qr right justified\par
Line 6 with left justification\ql\par
Line 7 with left justification
}

You can copy/paste into WordPad to see how the above is "rendered".

I can use \line\qr tags in the 5th line to cause a line-break and then
the rest of the paragraph is right-justified. I want to be able to do
this without the \line tag and have it remain as one line. I want it to
look something like:

Line 1 with standard left justification (slj)
Line 2 with slj and then.......................right justified
Line 3 with slj\ql
Line 4 with standard left justification (slj)
Line 5 with slj and then
.................................................. .......right
justified
Line 6 with left justification
Line 7 with left justification

(above may not have intended alignment because of variable width font.

Thanks
