Larry A workaround I've used in other circumstances is to add a trailing period (.) at the position I want to force a constant width (I use this with PAUSE boxes when the message is shorter than the caption to keep the caption from getting cut off)
You could create an expression with SRPL to place the period at the same position every time.
