[LegacyUG] Formatting in Notes
Is there a way to format columnar form information entered in in Notes so that the informtion will hold to those columns? I've not found any information indicating it can be done in any reading of help or the archives. Pat in Oklahoma Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

The only way I have found to do this Pat, is to make an Event of the info. As an Event, the formatted columns will hold, but will not do so when placed in notes. I have made Events for census from FreeCen as well as other documentation and the columns hold properly when copied and pasted into the Event notes section.

Re: [LegacyUG] Formatting in Notes
Hi Pat, Legacy supports very limited tabs. These however don't convert if you are wanting to make web pages. To enter a tab you need to use CTRL + Tab. I have found that if I use spaces and a Tab rather than two tabs where more than one is necessary I can get things to line up in reports and these hold. They've held for me for years now. However, what you see on the screen and what you get in the report are not identical so you need to go back and forth a bit until you get a feel for it. Also if you change font or margins you are likely to get a different result. Also sometimes with tabs in a line, the line overflows. But as I said, if your aim is html/web style output, this doesn't work. Some change the font to a non-proportional - fixed width font and line things up only with spaces. I hate the look of these fonts so that's not a solution for me.
