:set ruler
will show you the cursor's line and column numbers on the status
line. Then the easiest was to align the text under and after the
cursor to a specific column number is to hit 'i' and hold the space
bar or backspace key as appropriate until the 'ruler' shows the
desired column number. There are more elegant solutions, but they
depend on the specifics of what you're trying to do.
