justifying text in table fields

[Suzanne]

I've searched my help menu and manuals high and low and
can't find a way to switch the text justification in one
of my data table's fields. It's currently stuck on right
justify, and I'd like it to be left.

Thanks for any assistance.

Suzanne,

As far as I know, there is no facility to control the alignment of data
in tables. If there is, I have never seen or used such. The data
display funtionality in tables is very limited. This is because tables
are for data storage, and are not normally seen in database usage, so it
doesn't really matter what it looks like. You can adjust the alignment
of data in a form or report.

If your field is a Number or a Date/Time type the alignment is expected to
be to the right and is "by design". You can (and should) use a form to
work with the data in your tables and with a form, you can set alignment and
other display properties of the text boxes containing your data at will.
