Hi Ariana,

Looking at this more closely, the root of your problem is that the
tagging in your original rule is not correct:

  return name +"<br>\n" + "<t tabstops=0;74,Left,,;>" + domain;

First of all, the <t> tag does not take any attributes.  There's
probably a warning message about this in the log file.  (I would always
check the log file for any messages first when you have something not
coming out right.)

If you want to specify tab stops, that attribute has to go on the <p>
tag.  Also, the tab stop values are in hundreds of points (where 7200 =
one inch), so a value of 74 is about one-hundredth of an inch.  Please
refer to the FusionPro Tags Reference Guide for more information on how
to properly set up tab stops with tagging.

You probably want to do something like this:

  return name + "<p tabstops=0;7400,Left,,;><t>" + domain;

Although this can also be accomplished more simply with an indent, like
so:

  return name + "<p findent=7400><t>" + domain;

I suspect that what's happening in your job is that, since the tabstops
attribute is invalid on the <t> tag, it has no effect at all, and
whatever tab stops happen to be applied to the text (from the Tab Stop
Editor for the paragraph in question) are taking effect.  Most of the
time, unless the Tab Stop editor has been used, you'll get default tab
stops every half inch.  I'll bet that in your job where it's "not
working," the tab stops have been customized to some other setting.

So, instead of what you're doing now, I would either set the tabs in the
Tab Stop Editor, and modify your rule to just return the <t> tag without
any "tabstops" attribute, like so:

  return name +"<br><t>" + domain;

Or use the indents with the <p> tag as shown above.

Dan
