Aligning text inside the cell

[Jim]

Hi everyone:

I have constructed a regular Word table (not an Excel spreadsheet). Iam
using Word 2000.

When I was using WordPerfect, it would allow me to have two different
alignments within one cell. In other words, lets say I have a column of
cells. Within each cell I want to enter some information that is left margin
justified, then the balance of the data is to be right margin justified.

This scenario arises a lot in my line of work. It doesn't make sense to
create a second column due to space concerns on the page.

If I am not in a table format, Word allows me to do this on the same line by
using Print or Web view and letting the curser flag change to reflect the
margin justifications. WHen I try this inside the table it doesn't seem to
work.

Is there anyway to make this happen?

Thanks, you guys are always very helpful.

Select the cell (or column, if that makes more sense), and set a
right-aligned tab at the right cell border. Then type the
left-aligned text, press Ctrl+Tab, and type the right-aligned text.
