Topic: How do I insert a TAB character in TinyMCE editor?

Is there a way to insert a TAB character in TinyMCE editor to tabulate/line-up certain things? For example:

Subject           Marks Scored
---------           ---------------
Math               90%
Science           82%
     .                 .
     .                 .
     .                 .

Currently, the TAB character takes me to the next field/control on my web page. I use spaces to align the columns. It looks good/bad depending on the font face used. If Courier is used, the columns will line up neatly. Else, they may not. However, we don't use Courier; we use Arial/Times New Roman font faces.

Nope, use a table.

Well, actually you might be able to paste a tab char into the text?

I have tried using a table. However, my requirement is that the contents of the editor needs to be shown in PDF format (on a letterhead). Even if table border=0, the borders show up on the PDF output, which is not good.

I will try to paste the tab character and see if it works. Thanks a bunch.
