How to Use Table Fields?

[Dave]

Hi,

Thanks for this. I can't seem to get it work as documented. I have  
columns as so:

column1<tab> column2<tab> column3

I set the Width of the field to 600, tabStops to 200, vgrid and hgrid  
to true.

This displays 3 columns as expected, however, the middle column's  
data exceeds the width of the column, but instead of truncating as  
documented, it overflows into the third column. From the online help:

Any text in a column is truncated when it reaches the right edge of  
the column. To show the entire contents of the column, drag over the  
text to select it. If text at the end of a line does not have a tab  
following it--that is, if it's the last column in the field--it is  
not truncated.

Any idea how to make it function as documented?

(Eric, I tried to log on the URL you mentioned but I just get errors,  
any chance of emailing me the tutorial?)

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
