Craig is right ( as he usually has been ), "roll your own". I suspect you are dismayed that columns of numbers don't line up nicely or some such visual "fingernails on the blackboard". Some of the things I have done include:

[1] With columns of numbers, I put the numbers first on the line with Transform( ) using identical format code strings, concatenating captions to the right.

[2] Finish each line with space(5) -- to balance the visual spacing with the icon on the left.

[3] "Double space" chr(13) + chr(13) before and after "troublesome" lines to make them stand alone.
