On a regular basis I inherit a membership report as an RTF file which
has been exported from Access.

This I use to prepare a hard copy directory with limited horizontal
space.

Fields which were side by side in the Access report are separated by a
tab. This forces a line wrap in many entries.

I need to be able to change the size of the tab.

How do I do that?

Because the report is destined for Publisher will I offend protocol
if I ask the question there as well?

My experience is that that tab stops are not default tab stops. If
Publisher can handle a .pdf file, then I would convert the Access report to
..pdf and as Publisher is the final destination, I would take up the issue in
a publisher newsgroup

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.
