If I use the Format function it allows me to use the "-" sign to align left, but then it does not seem to allow me to set the cell width. I would prefer to align the text to the left and the numbers to the right because it reads better. I still think the key would be to change the font to a monospaced font (like Courier New), then I can set the width in characters. With proportional spacing this doesn't work. Is there a way to set the spacing in pixels? Can I use the Laz fonts with FPC? If so, how do I do that?What you're doing at this time depends on the width of the string being determined by the number of characters in the string. That is only true when using a Monospaced font. You are correct that if you change to a monospace font, your code will probably work.
What do you mean by setting a coordinate? How do I set the coordinates across several cells in a line at print time? I guess I could do this for each cell (each cell has a name, like C6 for row and column), with a bunch of code, but somehow I don't think that should be necessary.
thanks for your comments. I know it took you some time.You're welcome. I'm pleased to help in the measure I can.
I read that there is no way to change the fonts. It was a 2013 article. Is that correct? I saw there were font programs for sale for FPC, but I suspect they are just for the screen, and not the printer. I have not yet had time to look into them.
