Formatting question

I'm working with a RTF memo in a report and I need to establish some
columns.

If I place a field on top of the RTF can I anchor the field to that place in
the document so as the upper text changes due to imbedded field values the
columns will move up or down?

If I place the fields into the RTF and make the line Courior New, when
working with the formatted numeric fields (formatfloat) the fields don't
expand to their max width and the columns don't line up. Such as
formatfloat('###,##0',12) yields '12' and not ' 12'. Any suggestions
about this?

Either of these methods would work but I don't yet know enough about FR3 to
figure this out? Thanks.

    hi,
    If you don't want to change the position of a field in your report, change the property ShiftMode to smDontShift.
    To the second question,: If you want to have a space before the number, I guess you should add it in the field-definition before the formatfloat:
    _[formatfloat('###,##0',12)]

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
