You see for example line 203 starts typing from middle and because of this all my text will look porly formatted :frowning:

Hi,

it would be useful to see your code. If you display the table using Grid, then the Alignment option would be useful.

data=Table[StringJoin@RandomChoice[CharacterRange["A", "Z"], RandomInteger[{4, 10}]], {i,1, 4}, {j, 1, 3}];
Grid[data, Frame -> All, Alignment -> Left]

Hi,

it would probably be easier if you did “use code”. If you do not want to do that for some reason you can wrap the table that you do my “Insert” into Grid[“here goes your table”,Frame-> All,Alignment->Left], i.e.

and you should get what you want.

I did that , it worked , but the output is aligned Left but IS READ ONLY !?
All the text has now added quotes “xxxx” and i cannot modify it

Ps: i used CTRL+9 to add text in boxes…

Well, the more flexible you want to be, i.e. the more requirements you have regarding the output, the more important it becomes to learn some coding.
