How to line up text without tabs

Support
#1

Hello. Can you please tell me the easiest way to line text up in the Text Element? I am trying to line up the items listed in a schedule shown below. Note that the person’s first name is not in a straight vertical line. This is the sort of thing you’d accomplish with tabs in Word, but the Tab key does not work in the Text Element. Thank you.

Hey Kenny,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully you cannot line up the text in the Text element. It is only a text editor and not fully a document processing software which is why the tab is not working. You can add   or the space character as a padding character to line them up as an alternative. For example:

*  9:00   Frederick Askari, MD, PhD
*  9:30   Eve Roberts, MD, PhD
* 10:00   Michael Schilsky, MD
* 10:30   Thomas Sandahl, MD, PhD

Hope this helps.

a second aproach is to use a html table.
here is an url to one of many table generators:

and an example:

 test sdfsfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfs
 sdfs  sssss
 sdfsdsdf  ssss
 sssss  ssssss
 sss sssssss

 

<table style="width: 200px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 177.6px;">&nbsp;test</td>
<td style="width: 18.4px;">sdfsfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfs </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 177.6px;">&nbsp;sdfs</td>
<td style="width: 18.4px;">&nbsp;sssss</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 177.6px;">&nbsp;sdfsdsdf</td>
<td style="width: 18.4px;">&nbsp;ssss</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 177.6px;">&nbsp;sssss</td>
<td style="width: 18.4px;">&nbsp;ssssss</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 177.6px;">&nbsp;sss</td>
<td style="width: 18.4px;">sssssss</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Hi Kenny,

You can go with the solution given by deranaloge in his comment, but you need to add this HTML code into the HTML mode of the editor.

NOTE: Please remember that we don’t offer any support to the custom code or related issues.

Thanks
