Thanks Cathy, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. John -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cathy Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 6:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] fighting with columns in the event notes
Hi John, 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.
