I had to go look at the script. Yes, it does seem like revPrintField is 
ignoring the textalign. This should be submitted as a bug to Bugzilla. 
If you don't know how, let me know and I will do it.

You can fix the problem yourself if you are brave enough to go tinkering 
around in the guts of the IDE. Caveat: Work on a copy to be safe. You 
can find the original revLibrary stack in the Components/global 
environment folder on your hard drive. Make a copy of that first, before 
changing the script.

Then do this:

1. In Revolution, go to Preferences and check the box "Revolution UI 
elements appear in lists of stacks."
2. Open the Application Browser. In the left pane, find a stack called 
"revLibrary". Click its arrow to display the single card. Click on the 
card listing.
3. On the right-side pane, right-click the button "revPrintBack" and 
edit its script.

In the script editor, search for this line:
         if pSourceFieldRef is not empty then

You may have to hit the Find button a couple of times to find the right 
instance. Just under that, it should say:
        set the tabStops of field 1 to the tabStops of pSourceFieldRef

Add a line after that one:

       set the textalign of field 1 to the textalign of pSourceFieldRef


Close and save the script. Save the revLibrary stack. And cross your 
fingers, because I didn't actually test it. Remember, I said make a copy. ;)
