Left and right aligned text in same line

[Michael Coates]

Hello - working on my resume and would like to have a line of text that is
both left aligned and right aligned. For example, my name on the left hand
side and my phone number on the right hand side.

The only way I've been able to do this is create a 1X2 table which would be
fine for the hard copy but the electronic copy shows the border outline of
the table and I'd like to avoid that.

Thanks
Mike

Mike,

Would a right aligned tab stop set at the right margin
work for you?

1. See http://home.zebra.net/~sbarnhill/HideGridlines.htm

2. No need for the left tab if the name is at the left margin.

Thanks all - the tab stop worked and if I choose to keep it as is, I can
hide the tables borders.

Thanks
Mike

You shouldn't need a table at all if the tab stop is satisfactory.

And in any case, be aware that hiding table gridlines is a machine-
specific setting, that is, there's no guarantee anyone to whom you
send a doc containing tables will see gridlines or not. Gridlines
are different from borders. (The usual suggestion for using a
table to do this requires a *borderless* table. And that does
indeed work for the hardcopy.)
