If I understand your problem correctly I would use a table because I find it easier than mucking about wiith tabs or spaces or columns. You can the adjust the table column widths to get exactly the layout you want (for your data as shown a 5 column table might be useful with your data in the 2nd and 4th columns - this makes it easy to position the text horizontally). You can justify the text and space the columns and when happy select the table and remove all gridlines so they don't print.
