You can't do that in advance, since you don't know beforehand, what Style names, fonts etc. are in use and how long their names are. Moreover, if the output is generated using proportional fonts, there is never a 1:1 relationship between the character counts and their widths. If you use tabs for the separators, none of this will be a problem; you can simply adjust the tab-stops to suit once the output is generated. Better still, if you convert the output to a table, Word will handle the alignments automatically for you.
