Can I format text so that one part of a line of text is left justified and the other right justified?.
e.g. a date on the left side of the line and a title on the right side of the line of text.
17 February 2011                                        My Title.

I know I can do this using a table with 2 columns, but I was wondering if I can do it using standard formatting.

Richard Says:

Sure, you can do it with a table, or you can do it with two a TAB STOP. Just edit the tab stops for the current paragraph and set ONE right-aligned tab stop up against the right margin. Now type in the info that you want for the left side, press TAB once and that should put you right up against the right margin to type in the right side data.

I cover setting custom tab stops in my Microsoft Word 103 tutorial.
