You pointed me to the information for a regular text field. I've been there and read that. I'm looking for table specific fields. I need to set the field attributes for a text field in a table instead of using a label or custom draw type. Nowhere on that page does it say how to accomplish this unless your setting up a regular text field and have the option of setting the no underline non editable options. If the labels in a table displayed correctly I would use them but they don't.
