Is it Possible to set Text Alignment in the Data Extraction Wizard?

Is there a way to set text alignment in the Data Extraction Wizard?

 

I would prefer NOT to export to Excel and then OLE back to Autocad.

 

Problem #1:  In my data extraction table I want one column of data to be right-aligned and the next column to be left-aligned.  Of course I can do this after the data table is created, but it's a lot of extra work for nothing.  When I update the data extraction new rows do not inherit the previous row's text alignment.  I don't see an option to set the text alignment for an entire column - just cells.

 

I'm hoping that someone may know of "control codes" that can be inserted in the table format during data extraction.  For example, entering \P or \X when creating a dimstyle is the same as pressing the "Enter" key.

 

Problem #2:  I would also like to eliminate the vertical line between the two cells so that the two values appear as a single text string.

cell 1 data: 10

cell 2 data: 80

Formatted string: (10) @ 8' = 80'  Right now I have a cell border between = and 80'.  Not a big deal, but if I were using Excel I would just format the cells.

 

Thanks in advance!
