only problem is it will depend on the Font being used.
But I am assuming you wont be switching fonts (just creating a simple text file) so it wont matter much
a Tab is 14 spaces (columns)
a space being the average of the width of the letters in the font...(I think? or is it just some of the letters)?
ok..just checked the help:
Tab(n)
Used to position the insertion point to an absolute column number, where n is the column number. Use Tab with no argument to position the insertion point at the beginning of the next print zone.
Print zone :
Print zones begin every 14 columns. The width of each column is an average of the width of all characters in the point size for the selected font.
there you go!
Tab(n) can be used for printing to the printer too.
Printer.Print Tab(4);"Hello";Tab;"There"
