Default Word shifts columns automatically

Hello, i'm using WORD for a software program cross reference utility and when
i create a file on UNIX all of the "@b ......." references line up exactly on
the same column, so it aligns down the page in the same column.

When i copy that program source into a WORD document however, the lines
shift somewhat randomly and appear to be in different columns and that makes
it hard to read.

As you can see, i even put a period "." in place of a space to try to force
everything to line up, but WORD still seems to have adjusted the font or
spacing somehow even though the periods are the same count.

And to verify what's happening, i also put the same source into a (.txt)
file and it lined up exactly the same as on UNIX.

Is there anyway to tell WORD to use the exact formatting as say a (.txt)
file or not to modify the spacing?

Thanks for any insights on this!
