Question Formating the contents of a custom column

I have searched about but have found nothing relevant to my needs. I have a couple of custom columns of the Y/N variety and the 'Y' or the 'N' when entered are left justified. I should like to know if it is possible for me to format the column so that these values are centred. At present the values are difficult to scan read as they are crunched up hard against the previous column.

Is this possible? In a broader sense I'd like to know if there is any information on display formats for the data values.

I know this is only display and I shouldn't care, but . . .

T/F (Yes/No) columns are the exception to having the 'alignment' option (the column displays a graphic that tracks the included pulldown) .

Just narrow the column by dragging the Right divider in the title bar
