Is it possible to align 2 specific lines of text in an attribute block?

For example, how to align the text shell and external in this block?

Forgive me, but what is the challenge for you to just edit the attribute to fix it manually, I may have missed it in your post.

You can just edit the multi-line attribute in the editor to remove the extra spaces?

@tamia.shi Thanks for the additional screenshot and guidance: like all word processors, you need to set up tabs manually to achieve the look and feel and organization of text. How familiar are you with using a word processor and tabs? There are many tutorials out there, and your office admin/secretary person can guide you as well.

 

Short version: Highlight both lines, click on the bar at the top to set the tab location you desire, remove empty spaces then TAB to the correct positions

I know what you say, but my toolbar didn't appear as the full text formatting like yours, and it won't let me add tab to the ruler. Now I know how to solve this problem. I need to set the variable ATTIPE to 1. Thank you for your help
