    Formatting a Text File within a FlexGrid Cell?

    I am trying to load a Report (which is in a .txt format) into a FlexGrid Cell. The problem I am having is that the report doesn't line up exactly like it would if it were opened in WordPad or NotePad. You can still distinguish the columns and data fields, however, they are not quite in a straight columnar line. How can I rectify this?

    Thanks,

    Blake

    You need to change the font to a fixed-width one, such as Courier (or whatever you have set in NotePad/WordPad).
