Attached a quick tabs example. Custom tabs can be set precisely on a per paragraph basis on the "Tabs" tab in the "Format - Paragraph" menu. Gives control over X dimension in writer. Y can be controlled with paragraph formating. Draw gives snap to grid and snap to guides options in both the x and y dimensions as discused earlier. By OCR do you mean people will print it, fill it out by hand, then post the filled in form? If so i do not see the benefit of PHP over an uploaded PDF. -- Michael
