revprintfield and RIGHT tabalign?

[dunbarx at aol.com]

This is done with "revPrintField", where it is only in the print dialog that I can divert the process to make a PDF.
What is the story with "open printing to "PDF"...?

Go figure! :-D

Yes, but as you can see in my picture, you DID take a look, didn't you 8-),
