SUMMARY

This article describes how to horizontally align text or form fields in a tabular format.

MORE INFORMATION

To horizontally align text or objects in a tabular format, do the following:

  1. Apply the Formatted style to your text.

  2. Use the Tab key to separate the elements you want to appear in a tabular format.

The Formatted style is mapped to the <PRE>...</PRE> element when you save your Web page. The <PRE>...</PRE> element is designed to preserve exact horizontal spacing of characters, including spaces and tabs, and uses a fixed width font, such as Courier, to display your text. When you apply other styles that map to other elements, such as Normal which maps to the <P> element, extra spaces and tabs are ignored by the Web browser.
