Thanks for the reply. Scaling is need, as the interface I have for the

preview I was asigned to write takes mm as input data. I completely

overlooked the GetHeaderRect/GetfooterRect methods which I am currently

usign. I have two other Richviews for a header and a footer and draw into

the area of the footer to print the page number.

I composed the header of a table with one row and two cells, asigning a

left justified paragraph style to the left cell and a right aligned style

to the right one.

This is a workaround, though. I planned to do this:

1) Set one right aligned tab to the paragraph style.

2) Add a paragraph with text, one #9 character and the text that should be

right aligend as one string.

This did not work. I did not find a way to insert a tab.
