How do I post a formatted Statement of Accounts (SOA)?

I've started a thread so it shows up in searches.

How do I post a formatted statement of accounts, in monospaced text so all the columns line up? I've spent a frustrating 30 minutes trying and failing, and another 30 minutes trying and failing to find an answer by searching the forums, which is why I've titled this thread so hopefully the answer will be found by similarly frusted people in future.

Thanks in advance.

    Click on "Advanced" editor then "Fonts" and "Courier"
    That should give you monospace font for lining things up.


    Or you can do a screencopy from Excel etc, upload it to TinyPic, and then link to that as an image.

    Please, no, don't. People do like to add comments in the text of a SoA and cut and paste bits.
