Wow. That's some really solid advice. I didn't even think about the proportioal/fixed font thing. As far as creating tabs, I'm not sure that'll work for my purposes. The company to whom I deliver this information needs each collumn to start on a specific COL number... the same for each customer of theirs. Thus, if I mess around with Tabs... they won't be happy. (for example, every customer's second collumn must start at Col 95) I'll try changing the Font when I get back to work. Thanks.

I have a big document saved in notepad (.txt) where I've lined up all 5 collumns of information so it's easy to read. I've been using the document as a database of information but I need to move it all over to Word now so that I can password protect the information. My problem is that when I copy the document and paste it into word, the tidy column alignment dissapears. What I don't understand is that the column character reading is still accurate... that is, each letter of the every collumn is in the exact same "col", but to the eye, it looks mis-aligned. For example, col 95 starts off the 3rd collumn of information, but in my second row, even though it still reads col 95, it looks more like it would be col 75. What is going on and how can I fix it? I Presentation of this material is extremely important. I'm in a jam, it just looks very unprofessional as it is.
