 Formatting @ macros

  With the exception of the Action Related @ Macros,  you can apply the
  following formatting to any macro:

  The total number of characters used to display the macro.  This is
  commonly referred to as the maximum field length.

  Whether the text should be center, right, or left justified when a
  maximum field length is specified.

  To specify a maximum field length for a macro, enter a colon followed
  by the field length before the last @ of the macro. For example, if
  you wanted to display the user's name in a 30 character field, enter
  the following macro:

                       @USER:30@

  Text is normally left justified in a field.  If you want the text to
  be right or center justified, add a special character after the field
  length.  To make the text in the field right justified, add an R to the
  field length.  To make the text center justified, add a C to the field
  length.

  For example, to make the user's name in the previous example center
  justified, enter the following instead:

                       @USER:30C@

  To make the same display right justified, enter:

                       @USER:30R@
