What is the (s)HTM(l) code to right-justify text not in a table.  It
get's tré tedious calculating the number of  s to get the
positioning correct.

Dear Bunisan-ga,
You can right-justify with the following ccs:

<div align="right">text</div>

Sorry a typo, it should read css.

Great!  This will save me beaucoup time!  The first two worked as
advertised, but the last piece of code, <span
style="text-align:right;">Text</span>, just seems to center the
graphic or text.

Thanks a bunch!

The best way to do this is use a div and float it right:

<div style="float:right">Stuff</div>

or you could use a span with the text-align:

<span style="text-align:right;">Text</span>

Dear BUNI-San,
Thank you for the tip. Pleased I could help.
