My VBA is Microsoft Visual Basic 6.3, from Excel 2003 (11.6535.6360) SP1
from XP Professional Version 2002 SP3.

Google groups tells me cells do not sensibly display tab characters.
I have some cells where each cell contains a small set of information.
I want vertical alignment of such information.
An example of such data is:
29 Mar 09 29 Mar 09 Central Liverpool Street to Leytonstone
04 Apr 09 05 Apr 09 Hammersmith & City Edgware Road to Hammersmith.

If I use a fixed pitch font, such as Courier New, I can do something
like Left(LineName & Spaces, Len("Hammersmith & City")) to pad the third
pseudo-column to a fixed width.
I am actually using Tahoma, which is a proportional font; that technique
fails to deliver the desired result for proportional fonts.

I have a small number of distinct values for the third column;
I could roughly bludgeon something by padding from an array of spaces;
I am looking for something more elegant.

I have looked for terms like format and align in help, without success.

(Solutions using multiple columns do not fit my criteria. ;( )
(This posting will be distorted, if read in a proportional font ;)
