>depending on the font, spaces can change size, that is to say, the first space may be 5 pixels, but successive spaces are only 2 or 3 pixels! So the result of putting spaces in front of text can be unpredictable.

Hi Mike,

I'm still confused. Let's summarize once again, what I'm trying to achieve:
Report
<b>Buyer<b>, Address, Use Code
        <b>Nadya Nosonovsky</b>, The Warren Group, Boston, Use 101
        <b>Mike Mattos</b>, Mississauga, Ontario, Use 031
         etc.
Now, that I did:
I created two fields:
Field1 Buyer is Tahoma 9, Bold
Field2 spaces(txtwidth(alltrim(Buyer),"Tahoma",9,"B")/txtWidth(" ","Tahoma",9,"B")+", "+Address+", "+"Use "+StateUse

Field1 and Field2 are overlapped together (start at the same position).

I noticed, that it still doesn't look exactly right. I added one additional space before Address. It's alsmost fine, but not exact.

If you can help me here, please, be as more specific, as you could be.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
