Sometimes one has a 2D array of data that one wants to display in nice-looking rows and columns. The "obvious" way to do this is as a 2D array, but the row and column "dividers" can interfere with the desired "unified" Spreadsheet look. One solution is to use Array to Spreadsheet String, which creates a single String with a default "tab" separating columns and an "eol" separating rows, but aligning columns becomes very difficult, especially with a non-monospaced font.
I'd like to propose a "special" (I don't have a name for it -- maybe SpreadSheet String?) String Array Indicator that behaves like any other Array Indicator except that the "visual separators" between the rows and columns can be made "invisible", possibly by a right-click option. Now the Front Panel Designer can lay out rows and columns, adjust widths and heights, then make the interior walls vanish so when the user "fills in the blanks", it appears as a nicely aligned series of row and column data. If the data are strings, the user could even set Right, Center, or Left justification for the standard cell, again simplifying formattting.

The Table control/indicator already provides this functionality.
