     Me.CurrentX = Me.ScaleWidth - Me.TextWidth(Txt)

     Me.Print Txt

 ' 3. Centre on form

'4. Right justify in a given width, at a given column.

     Txt = "Right in col"

     ColPos = Me.ScaleWidth  4

     ColWidth = Me.ScaleWidth  4

     Do Until Me.TextWidth(Txt) < ColWidth

   ' Make sure the text fits in the column.

           Txt = Right$(Txt, Len(Txt) - 1)
