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.
Cheers, Cathy

fixI 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
toit, 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
keep the columns lined up straight, - in all the reports and views if possible.
I hope someone out there has the answer.
Thanks John
