Hi,

I'm using a Word Template to create a document via VFP automation of Word. This document contains a payment ledger, w/columns:

Date, Payment Amount, Interest Rate, Interest Accrued, Addition Amount, Interest Paid, Unrecovered Interest Balance, Credit Amount, Balance, Notes.

The first line of the payment ledger is different, however. It has date, a reason (textual) for the payments, the starting Unrecovered Interest Balance and Balance.

This all worked fine...i had a bookmark to mark where the Unrecovered Interest Balance should be, so the length of the reason didn't matter.


Now I have to handle when there are 2 ledgers displayed together...so somewhere down the page, or 3 pages later, after columns of numbers there will be some spaces, then another line w/just a date, a textual reason for the payments, and the starting Unrecovered Interest Balance and Balance.

I'm having trouble lining up the Unrecovered Interest Balance and Balance, since the "reason" may take up a variable amount of space - it's a field in a table, but could be empty, or "PER CLIENT'S RECORDS" or "JUDGEMENT" - sometimes extending past the first and/or second tab stop. I can't just put out 5 or 6 tabs...i need to figure out how far across the page the text has taken me.

Any ideas?

TIA, j
