Thanks jump_Over,

But i want to move character to specific location.

Actually i need to do a character alignment for column.

What i am doing right now is

1. first select the column for which i need to do character alignment, then select a cell with a maximum number of characters in it from that column.

2. Center align that cell.

3. Take the horizontalOffset of a character for which i need to do a character alignment.

4. Assign same horizontalOffset to all cells from that column, but problem is that horizontalOffset is read only property, so not able to assign a value to horizontalOffset.
