Re: prob with ACE output and WORD

This could be a problem with one of the following: Fonts: Try selecting a non-proportional (ie: monospaced) font such as courier. (this is the most likely candidate) Tabs/Spaces Depending on how you are getting the file, see if you can make sure that tabs expand as tabs and spaces as spaces and see if that helps. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: prob with ACE output and WORD Author: johnson@hqcso.attmail.com at Internet-Mail Date: 2/7/95 9:24 AM I am looking for suggestions on how to avoid a problem I have with the output of my ACE reports having unaligned columns when saving to Microsoft Word. I run a number of ACE reports on UNIX and direct the output to a file on the server. Then I enter Microsoft Word 6 and connect to a drive "D" which is my server. I then read the file into Microsoft Word 6 and save it as a Word 6 file onto my C drive and mail it out to various locations using Microsoft Mail. The columns are set in ACE using statements like: print column 5, fld1, column 20 fld2 using "####", ... When saving into Word, the columns lose their allignment. Has anyone had, worked around this problem? Thanks, Ray Johnson AT&T Berkeley Heights NJ 908/771-3398 rayjohnson@attmail.com Ray Johnson AT&T Berkeley Heights, NJ 908/771-3398 rayjohnson@attmail.com
