The paragraph flow object area is the width of the cell, and due to your
characteristic the area itself is right aligned, but the text inside the
paragraph flow object is still the default: "start".  The quadding
characteristic is still needed to change the text inside the flow object.

The RTF produced from the following example will show you how only the text
of the last column is aligned as you wish.

I hope this helps.
