Re: more advanced table column aligning

Below is some code that I am currently using in a table for one of my
projects.

I am using the attribute-set titled "detailtablecenter" when I want the data
centered in the table.
For the data that I want set to the right, I use the "detailtableright"
attribute-set.
In the first block, this is showing the table headers which are centered. 
In the second block,
this is showing the data which is appropriately centered for the columns
that are not holding
dollar amounts.  
Hope this helps.
