I'm looking to display information in a scrollable window on a form--but in a table format.

Specifically, I'm looking to create help screens with format similar to this (including the blank line):

Topic #1 Label -		This will be the text of the first topic, multi-line. It would be necessary to vertically align text to the top so labels are at the beginning of the text.
Topic #2 Label -		Multi-line text of topic 2, etc.

Right now I have two static text fields next to each other attached to a scroll region but getting everything to line up quickly becomes a problem and there doesn't seem to be a way to outdent text (which, of course, doesn't surprise me).

Unless I create a separate Help database, information on the form will not consist of database data and in any case it will not be related to the main database.

Sesame has a customizable help system available. Additionally there are several popup windows choices available that can all do the layout you are asking for. You can also place your help system in a form by using a scroll region (and form-as-dialog). To get the labels and the text to line up use a separate static text element for each piece, rather than combining the label and the text in a single element. There many possibilities.
