This question is from the Word side of things as opposed to VFP but figured this group is the best to ask so:

I have a comma and quote delimted text file for the mailmerge. The mailmerge fields need to be lined up in columns, so they are layed out like the following:

Student          Grade          Fee
student1         grade1         fee1
student2         grade2         fee2
student3         grade3         fee3
student4         grade4         fee4

The trouble is the grade and fee mergefield positions shift depending on the length of the student mergefield.

Is there a way to ensure a mergefield takes up a certain amount of space, no more and no less, without padding the mergefield values and using a non-proportional font? The client has a font standard for all documentation so that is not an option.
