Word 2007 tab stop spacing
Hi,
I am testing a Microsoft Access 2003 application in Microsoft Access 2007 and I notice a difference when I export a report to Word (using 'Publish with Microsoft Word' in Access 2003 and 'Export to RTF file' in Access 2007). The difference is the space between the fields in the table layout. The fields are seperated by tab stops and the records should be displayed like: Company name Employee Phone Microsoft Access Corp. John Doe 01010101 In Word 2003 this is correct, but in Word 2007 I see the records like this: Company name Employee Phone Microsoft Access Corp. John Doe 01010101 The free space that Word 2007 maintains between the fields (or columns if you like) appears to be 0 centimeters/inches, where it seems to be about 1 centimeter in Word 2003. Therefor the tab stop for the next column 'is too far to the right' for texts that are exactly as long as the field/column is wide and the column is not straight anymore. How can I resolve this? HJ |

Word 2007 tab stop spacing
The way in which Word lays out text is highly dependent upon the
Printer/Printer Driver combination. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Are the font and point size exactly the same in both versions? If not,
change those settings in W2007 to match those in W2003 and see if the columns fall into place. Other options: 1. Select the entire tabbed list and click on the ruler to assign new tab positions (& override the defaults). 2. Select the entire list and convert it to a table.
