Sorry, I can’t even do this on a wordpress forum site! Geez…

The dollar figures are what I am trying to align and format perfectly to the right of the text. I want all the numbers in a perfectly aligned column format. Just like you’re in Microsoft Word and you hit the tab key to go to the right and align text perfectly.

Hmm… maybe that’s not it. Here’s an exact example of what I’m trying to do.

The following is the actual text I’m using:

“Say we bought a duplex for $150,000. That means we only need $5,250 plus closing costs and any repairs to do the deal! “So what,” you say? Well get this.

We will live in one side of the duplex and rent out the other for let’s say, $1200.

Here’s how this looks:

P&I (4% interest rate) $691
Property Taxes $313
Mortgage Insurance $118
Home Insurance $67
Total $1,189″

When I copy and paste into wordpress it looks more like this:

“Say we bought a duplex for $150,000. That means we only need $5,250 plus closing costs and any repairs to do the deal! “So what,” you say? Well get this.

We will live in one side of the duplex and rent out the other for let’s say, $1200.

Here’s how this looks:

P&I (4% interest rate) $691
Property Taxes $313
Mortgage Insurance $118
Home Insurance $67
Total $1,189″

As you can see the numbers on the right are completely out of alignment.

How do I keep them perfectly formatted?

Thanks again,

Jeff

Yes, exactly! You nailed it! I have several indendations for a lot of my posts. How’s it done?

Ok thanks, I downloaded that plugin, but am still unable to simulate the tab button to format text properly. The only idea I can come up with is using a table, but I can’t make the borders of the table invisible or hidden.

Man, I see so many websites that are able to simulate the tab button on their sites. How are they doing this and why is this so difficult?

Man this is frustrating. I know this can be done. I see it all the time on other blogs.

Just to recap, I have copied and pasted the original text with proper formatting from word into notepad. I adjusted formatting in notepad and then saved a .txt file.

Then I copied and pasted into wordpress and still the same f#$%ing problem.

Please, please help.

OK I tried pasting into notepad and then properly formatted. After I copied and pasted into wordpress and still the same problem.

Is that supposed to work?

RSS that is.

OK I see a page that starts with:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Is that normal? I’m honestly unfamiliar with CSS.

Thanks, but nothing happened. I clicked on it and tried to copy and paste into the browser with no result.

Thanks Ross,

I think I will do that.
