Thanks for this. I can't seem to get it work as documented. I have columns as so:

column1<tab> column2<tab> column3

I set the Width of the field to 600, tabStops to 200, vgrid and hgrid to true.

This displays 3 columns as expected, however, the middle column's data exceeds the width of the column, but instead of truncating as documented, it overflows into the third column. From the online help:

Any text in a column is truncated when it reaches the right edge of the column. To show the entire contents of the column, drag over the text to select it. If text at the end of a line does not have a tab following it--that is, if it's the last column in the field--it is not truncated.

I believe that's consistent with Excel.

You can either set the last tabstop to a high number like 9999 to move the column line out of the way, or put " " into each item of a new last column to get the truncation.

Not sure what's happening with your middle column; here I get the columns truncated when as soon as I set the hGrid and vGrid properties.
