have you tried to created to separated documents and than overlaying
the resulting PDFs to create a tabulated text?

there is a right align icon in the properties palette, too... no need
to open the story editor to click on it...

you realize that what you are using in tex are (almost) tabs?


really, people, what you are trying to do is what the tabs were
