I need help with the following. I want to be able to type one word on a line and then right align the next word . Each time I try I right align the whole line.

My workaround was to use a table and format the cells as you note. The table borders are set to not print.

Perhaps an easier way is to simply use a right justified tab between the first and second words, then the second word always right justifies.

Just set up a right-align tab to the position you want on the line.

Then, instead of entering a space after the first word (or after the space) just press the Tab key.
Anything you type, after the tab, will be right aligned, until you start a new line.
