Columns and Tabs
Hi - I'm trying to lay out data in a simple format. I am using two columns to
a page. The data on both columns is similiar. For instance - I am listing a personal name on the right and then a locale name on the left of a column. The names aren't a problem but the locales are because they vary in spelling length. Therefore a simple set tab won't line the locales against the right margin of the column. Thanks for any help you might offer. |

I'm confused. You say, "a locale name on the left of a column" and "the
locales against the right margin of the column." Assuming that "right" is correct, you need a right-aligned tab at the right margin.
