I was/am using the extra column workaround but felt it was that; a
workaround.  Maybe the best way would be writeSelectedRows() but because of
my overall unfamiliarity with how a document is written, I thought there
must be a more direct approach (i.e. xxx.setLeftIndent()).

Thanks, I did look over the ColumnText examples for completely different
reasons and they helped me get started with CT.  But tables have inherent
features (differential row shading, borders, horizontal alignment) that are
difficult or simply impossible to do with column text.

Thanks,

Steven
