Min,
You are quite correct in saying that tabs are not recognised in html based
web pages and would not be suitable for this purpose.
The usual way to present the information the way you require is to create
tables in html and enter the data therein. This would be a very labourious
task no matter how you do it. One possible thought would be to layout the
notes the way you wish (if I remember correctly there has previously been
discussions on tabulating notes which should be in the archives) and create
PDFs linking the PDFs to a thumbnail picture of a census form on your web
page so that when it is clicked the PDF is displayed.
By carefully arranging the notes you may also be able to create a csv file
which can be exported into a standard format in either MS Excel or Open
Office Calc from which the html can be created.
Depending on how many census results you wish to display there are various
techniques which can be used but all will require separate programming
rather than having them created by Legacy.

Thanks for these workarounds Jim. I have just experimented with Method 2:
Inserting Tabs and it presented a much better looking result than trying to
space between the columns.
However, if intentions are to create web pages as well as reports (which is
what I will do eventually), the tabs are not recognised in the process and
all the info on each line joins together without any spaces between the
columns. Do you know of any way around this?
Thanks
Min
