Inserting tables in the task description

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Abby, 
I believe your best option has already been mentioned - build up your text in a
seperate method using ABAP. An idea to get around proportional fonts might be
to insert tab characters, I'm not too sure how well that will work though, and
it can also get messy.
Cheers
Mike
