How to line up a merged field to a column heading
I am trying to produce proforma invoices.
This involves lining up merged fields such as "quantity", "Unit Price", "Net Price" under headings. I have used picture switches to ensure the formats are right but the varying lengths of the formatted fields dictates their position rather than the column heads. So the merge document looks like this Quantity Unit Price Net Price <Qty> <Unit_Price> <Net_Price> The result can look like this Quantity Unit Price Net Price 12 1.00 12.00 How can I get the result I want ?

Use appropriately defined tab-stops to define the alignment, the sam as you would do with any other document. Don't worry if, when you insert the tabs between the fields, they don't line up correctly - what you need to be concerned with is how the data will line up.

Thanks for your help, i should have realised for myself, in the end I used a table to do the job.
