Is there a way to get the text in a field to justify to the left? I have a column that outputs data in richtext, that I have used to make dot point lists. Problem is that they are really hard to read when right justified which seems to be the standard. Screen shot attached…

I would personally build an html table using a template column to join html code and your values, and then display that table in a rich text component.

OK you’ve lost me now…  
Given your solution and that I have almost no idea of coding…is the simple answer “you can’t”?

In regards to the see Basic Table component in Apps, or Fields component, in Pages, I believe everything on the right side is always right aligned.
