I'm having a problem keeping two of three data fields in their place and have tried different combinations.

Working with a dbase with varying rows per record. There are three fields for a section I am working on: Date, Description, and Dollar amount. Because specific rows of data needs to be colored across the whole row, I am trying to use either the Text or Box object without any success. The date field seems to be alright as it is against the left margin. However, while using tab, the description and dollar amount fields seem to ignore the tabs. I have selected the check boxes to trim leading and trailing spaces and unchecked them to used the trim command to no avail. Date and Description need to be left aligned and the dollar amount right aligned to a TAB.

I am using the iteration condition to select specific rows of data.

What other options should I consider? Data selection object and use PressTalk to configure the background shading or do the whole object in PressTalk?
