Yes, definitely. I assumed because you hadn't done this already
that the XML data was out of your hands. But yes, if you can make the
XML a little more granular like you demonstrate then you don't need an
extra template at all. Just put a between the label and the
amount, and set the block's text-align-last to justify. So...

David,
I can't make that guarantee of the space you mentioned. Can I
make it more simple if I split the string into Description and Amount as
follows (again, my goal is to align the descriptions and the decimal
points):
Quebec Native Seal Tax
15.42
BIG UPPER CASE TAX INO
euro-tax-msg6-amt>439.59

Assuming you can guarantee that there will always be at
least two spaces between the text and the digits, could you do something
like the following?

Friends,
Existing Code in my XML file (the decimal points are
aligned when using Courier font):
Quebec Native Seal Tax
15.42
BIG UPPER CASE TAX INO
439.59
--
My XSL that prints (using Arial font):
-
My Result:
Thelkj lk laksjf lkasjd flkajs flkj15.42
Wakadf wlkej salksdjf 349.54
Without creating a table, is there a way to get the text
to align left and the digits to align right?
I thank you for any suggestions.
Jeff
