Thank you so much, Michael. This is exactly what I needed, I do have a couple of tables just like this one, but I am going to use what you did here as my template. <br><br>I really appreciate your help.<br><br>Jada<br><br>

</div>This may be one of the rare cases where vertical separators may be useful as they lead the eye to the Measure number, which was I think where the alignment was wanted. I did this in a fairly ad hoc way. There's another way you can do this without tables, making use of the pst-layout package, but there is a bit of a learning curve and would not be worthwhile unless you were making many such documents.<br>
