Got it - thanks.

:)  Small world.

I think I had misunderstood the description in the earlier post.  For 
example:

     Each cell can already be controlled separately plus have its
     own font style.

True, as with any Rev chunk.  I was hoping for the holy grail of 
independent column alignment.  I've used multiple fields for that in the 
past, but getting the selection working well and keep things in synch is 
just more work than it needs to be, and suffers from poor performance.

Also:

    The columns can already be resized but the rows still
    need to be able to be resized.

In script one can set a field's tabstops, but in the Dynamic Table Field 
is there a way to resize them interactively with the mouse?

This one sounds intriguing:

   Each cell can easily become as many separate  buttons as the
   programmers wants.

What does that mean?
