I have a table with a column of text and a column of associated numbers.  Is there a way to align the columns so they are left justified instead of centered and can you hide the " " needed to insert text?

This is what I get when I add text, but if do separate text from values, then dont align

Use EXCEL component to show the text and values you want.

The answer to your questions unfortunately is "no".

As far as I'm aware, No and No.

 

And the request has been hanging around in one form or another for over 15 years ,,,

If you're a maintenance customer, you can raise a request in the Mathcad Ideas forum, or add support to an existing, live idea if one exists.
