I can't comment on WordPerfect, which I've never used, but I can remember experiencing the "text alignment" problem that you describe. One solution is to use a fixed-pitch font (also called fixed-width or typewriter font). Another solution is to set tab stops for each column. This should cause the columns to be lined up on the left. Look in WP's index under ruler... if there's an entry it may be interesting reading... Hope this helps, Terrell

One of the better ways to do this, is look into FORMAT (Shift-F8), Others (O), and (I believe) Alignment (or right, left, etc.). Our department is generally still using WordStar 4.0 (which I must to be able to share files), however, I find that WordPerfect does a great job with Proportional Spaced fonts. It also makes your whole package of Soft Fonts readily downloadable.... Don't be afraid to play with your computer and software... Follow all those Function keys, until you understand what they do! ______________________________ ......................................... | |......................................... | Sofia Kirschner |.
