Side by Side custom code for Likert Scale.

You can add
tags in your choice : Not

That works, but now I have a slightly different problem. The answers are not evenly spaced because I have (before each semi-colon represents a new column).
Not at all 1; 2; 3; Moderate Extent 4; 5; 6; Great Extent 7
So the columns for 1, 4, & 7 are wider than those for 2, 3, 5, & 6. Is there some way to ensure the columns are evenly spaced?

I'd remove the text from the answer choices (leave only the numbers) and create a table in the column header to display them.
Something like this :
Column 1



 

You have been amazingly helpful. Thanks so much!
One last question. I need for the table to match the width of the 7 choices below. I lead with a statement above the header that says...
for significant impact on the environment.
To get the table to widen to the width of the 7 responses, I have added periods after the "environment." I have added periods and then changed the color to white so they don't show. This seems like an inelegant solution:). Is there a better way to set the width of the field?
