[NTG-context] Obeyspaces in tables

Hi, Does \obeyspaces work in tables? I cannot determine how to make it do so. In the following example, I am unable to maintain the space between the words "T H E" and "P R O J E C T". \bTABLE[width=.5\hsize,frame=off] \bTR \bTD[align=right] {\it {\vi Contractor:}} \\ {\ss An organization} \\ {\ssx 100 West 27th Street, NY 10001} \eTD \bTD[ny=2][align=middle] {\obeyspaces {\ssa {\bf T H E P R O J E C T}}} \\ 100 East 10th Street, NY 10003 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[align=right] {\it {\vi Sub-contractor:}} \\ {\ss Another organization} \\ {\ssx 100 Stagg St., Brooklyn 11206} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE Thank you for any help or advice.
