Justify text in a field

[Lynch, Jonathan]

You could have a script do this:
- get the formattedrect of a block of text
- calculate how far from the left of the field that block of text needs
to be
- insert a few spaces to the left of the block of text
- check the formattedrect of the block of text again
- keep inserting (or deleting if you go too far to the right) spaces
until item 1 of the formattedrect of the block of text is close enough
to be where it needs to be.
- if you really want to be neurotic, you can use spaces with a really
small font size, so that the width of a space is only 1 or 2 pixels!
