But note that the data in the M$ sample is NOT spaced out to center the second item on three item lines nor to make the last item on each label flush_right. But that extra code you gave us -- despite the commenting (which means we won't be interested anyway, since it's not part of your problem statement) -- appears to have, at some point, been attempting the set some spacing in that general vein. *Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:* code verbatim error and/or warning messages *a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work* actually means.** check Ln42!

Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:

verbatim error and/or warning messages
a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work actually means.
