I agree that mess would be way short of what you could do even using
tabs. Using spaces (of any type) is a newbie word processing mistake.
I can't use WP on this project unfortunately.
I shudder to think.
I need 150 absolutely positioned short text fragments (like,
"last name", or "date of birth") on one page for an OCR form.
This is to be a template for an OpenTBS merge from PHP.

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.
No this is a form that is created from php generated data, then
printed on a OCR form and sent off to the insurance companies to
generate income.
