How to get 2 data items vertically aligned in one List column?

[bosts1]

Hi, I have seen this before and cannot figure out how to get it to work. I am trying to get two data items to display in a column in the list one on top of the other. For example, 'Equipment Number' and then under that it will display the 'Equipment Description'. See attached.  Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance for your help!!

Yep! First you need to unlock the structure of the list by pressing the padlock button on the toolbar so it appears in the open position. Then go to the toolbox and drag a table inside the list column body. Make the table 1 column by 2 rows. Drag your two data items into the two table cells, then re-lock your structure.

Cheers!

I would suggest using two blocks rather than a two-row table in this case. Blocks always stack on top of each other anyway and they will honor the size, class, and other formatting that is already present on the column body. It also seems like tables do some extra padding by default that blocks don't do.

When I use a table I seem to end up having to do some extra formatting work, but you can try both and see which one works better for your situation.
