The fact is you can't do it currently exactly as you can't set tabs - but you can get pretty close.
I'll email you privately with examples.
Either cut and paste the text complete with tabs and the tabs stick OR use CTRL-tab.
However for very uneven columns I've found you need to use a combination of spaces and one tab.
Changing margin size or size of indents in a report can mess it up again.
However it's about 18 months since I took the time to check my census input in reports and tinker with it so it looked OK in the report - and those ones still print OK.
I'm not adventurous with fonts. I'm happy with the defaults for most text though sometimes choose a fancier font for titles.
Cheers, Cathy

I have been fighting with columns in the event notes for a few days now . . . the columns are winning. I can't keep them straight. I read Legacy's archived messages relating to aligning columns, and they weren't much help. Some of the messages were old, and yet the problem remains. One person said something about buying a CD that would explain it, but . . . he or she didn't bother to tell anyone how to do it. Changing the font was said to fix it, but that changes the whole look of the report, and to be honest, I didn't try that because I'd like to find another option if I can.
The bottom line is, I have a lot of census data to enter in the events, and I'm entering them the way Legacy recommends to enter the list of names,(in columns.) Never-the-less, I don't want to go any further with entering the information in columns until I can solve the problem. I'd like to be able to keep the columns lined up straight, - in all the reports and views if possible.
I hope someone out there has the answer.
Thanks John
