(I'm giving an PC version explanation since i have no experience with the MAC version) Tables are a major item for us since we print stats in the sports section. (you want to talk headaches?!? however, it is DEFINITELY better than using the old photo-typesetter.) We (the student paper that I volunteer at) use WordPerfect as the text entry medium and - when the proper extension is used on the file - PageMaker will import the tab settings as well as the tabs themselves. (We do, however, change the tab locations after 'placing' the text since they are always wrong after importing.) ---------------> original message <------------------- Date: Thu, 8 Feb 90 11:19:50 EST From: Tom Gleason - ACS Subject: Right hand justified columns within a PM column... I am trying to create a table in a single column of a two column PM layout. The column is a single text block. The table has 5 columns; one of alpha and 4 of numeric. I am having trouble with right justification. I can colomnize and justify left to tabs without any problem. ---------------> signature = 8 lines follows <------------------- Neil Duffee Joe Programmer, U. of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada BITNET: NJD2E@UOTTAWA .CA DOMAIN: njd2e@acadvm1.uottawa.ca (requires MX records) or: njd2e%acadvm1.uottawa.ca@ugw.utcs.utoronto.ca (explicit route) INTERNET: see above UUCP: gatech!utai!uottawa.bitnet!njd2e COMPU$ERVE: >INET:njd2e@acadvm1.uottawa.ca 'If you really wanted an opinion, you'd have submitted a request.'
