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.
