I have not done this in a while, but IIRC, so long as you do not set the column_widths array, then the column_char is ignored and you are (probably) OK. Um, yup, here's a quote that looks relevant; "After the last column any remaining text is formatted into the space between the last column and the right edge of the browser, even if the text contains instances of column_char() . The default value is a one-element array of just a zero, which means there are no columns." I read that as saying that, so long as you don't set the column_widths array, you can use the column_char in your text and it will be ignored.
