Whamo! I believe that this is related to a bug that I reported earlier. If you search Bugzilla for "tab", it should come up. A work around is to set the Format/Tabs dialog to set a right-aligned tabstop just shy of the right margin; 6.499 works for my default page layout. Unfortunately, fixing this bug will not eliminate another limitation of using right tabstops to get this effect: If the margins are changed, what was right-aligned text no longer will be. I hope this helps. Rob Campbell ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
