How can I can change the default font to a monospaced font (for
example, Courier New) so text in columns are lined-up?

It would be helpful if you said where and how you are reading posts.
It
looks like you are using Google Groups ... I go there ocassionally,
but
I've never tried to solve that problem. Two ideas: try the "original
message" view; or do a copy / paste into notepad

Another suggestion: do what I did, and get a newsreader (I'm still
using
Outlook Express -- there are other options) and a subscription to a
news provider such as eternal september and use Usenet and NNTP to
read
and post to Usenet -- now there's a novel idea!

I always post messages in Goggle Groups.

Here is an example of my Excel spreadsheet. (I have manually typed
spaces in front of each cell's contents so its contents are "right-
justified").

A B C D
1234 45 45606 443455
7843 5968 5067833 5055777788
82835 123 96 566
812 194949 59595 596666

I don't know of any way to do what you are asking.

Another thought: post your example in .csv format; then it can easily be
imported into Excel and should then behave as expected:

A,B,C,D
1234,45,45606,443455
7843,5968,5067833,5055777788
82835,123,96,566
812,194949,59595,596666
