To be honest, I can't remember which types of data source used to
preserve white space at the beginning of fields, but what type of file is
your data source?

We just upgraded from Office 2000 to 2007 and our merge data that
started with a tab character now seems to be ignoring\striping the
leading tab character. This character is used for formatting.

How do I get office 2007 to not ignore\strip leading whitespace
characters?
