Got it - thanks.

I think I had misunderstood the description in the earlier post. For example:

    Each cell can already be controlled separately plus have its
    own font style.

True, as with any Rev chunk. I was hoping for the holy grail of independent column alignment. I've used multiple fields for that in the past, but getting the selection working well and keep things in synch is just more work than it needs to be, and suffers from poor performance.

Also:

   The columns can already be resized but the rows still
   need to be able to be resized.

In script one can set a field's tabstops, but in the Dynamic Table Field is there a way to resize them interactively with the mouse?

This one sounds intriguing:

  Each cell can easily become as many separate  buttons as the
  programmers wants.

What does that mean?

I am not sure what you mean by each column having independent alignment.

To resize a single column you need to click to the left of a divider line and keep the mouse held down. The cursor will change to a hand, move the hand with the mouse held down and after you release the cursor the column divider will
move to where the hand was.  This can be improved by using mousewithin &
changing the cursor to one like is used when you resize the dictionary.

The buttons idea is simple and staring you in the face. You can see that I have already made each item 3 different buttons. Button 1 provides you the line and item number along with the item clicked. Button 2 allows you to click on an item and it will copy that item and place it in the field above the copy button. Button 3 allows you to paste the styled text in any item you click on. This can be rewritten to make it a little easier to provide options and the options are limitless. You can have it automatically do anything instead of one of the three options I provided. They are not physical buttons which is even better they just allow each cell to
do as many different things you want when it is clicked.
