Is there a way to do tabs (i.e. tabulate the text) in TextEdit?
Will there be in 7.0?
I'm large blocks of output to a window with TextEdit, and I want
to arrange the output in tab separated fields so the output is in
centered columns. I don't want to use a fixed width font and spaces.
For example (centered tabs):
<tab> Heading1<tab> Heading2<tab> Heading3<CR>
<tab> a<tab> b<tab> c<CR>
<tab> d<tab> e<tab> f<CR>
<tab> g<tab> h<tab> i<CR>
Has anyone done this? Any ideas? Will TextEdit in 7.0 do it?
Thanks in advance.

Any ideas? Will TextEdit in 7.0 do it? > As I recall, a number of us at the "Bash Apple" session at MacHack were really high on tabs being a needed feature in the TextEdit package. Maybe it is time for us all to 'Link Jordan about this, eh? JEM
