Hello Matthew,

Thanks for your example! However, I think I have not made myself clear. It's not the column that I want to adjust, but the text in the column!

My clients want usually, and I understand them, that the alignment of, say a column of figures, should be set to right, but that the whole text in the column is centered . See <http://www.guyverville.com/column.jpg>.

The last two columns have been aligned manually (putting the right amount of right indent to the paragraph. This is a cumbersome process.

Take now the third column from the right. I need to put the correct right indent to the paragraphs SELECTED. I would like a script that calculates the largest paragraph and apply the appropriate right indent to all the paragraphs of the SELECTION, because I don't want to align my text to the title...

First of all I have difficulty to figure how to work only on a selection... Any idea?

Guy
