Default Column Aligning w/o Tables

Hey all!

I'm used to aligning things across columns by using tables. I do this because I find the "column" feature to be finicky, especially when I'm only doing 2-3 items.

However, I'm being told by a career center rep that because I'm using "hidden" tables to format my resume that a lot of parsers out there will not be able to read the document properly when uploaded.

I'm fine without using tables to align things. However, when I use "tab" it only seems to align segments of text that are consecutive across lines.

When I want to align something that acts as a sort of header, it will not align to the other headers.

As a result, when I look at my headers, half of which should be aligned left, and the other half which should be aligned right, there's a sort of awkward placement of items that depend on line length and tabs used.

I'd like to be able to have them align just as if I'd used a table.
