ok let me try to explain what I've got. I am trying to save to a word document through vba. I have 2 text boxes on my form and I would like to save the 2 text boxes in the word doc. just like there are on the form, right next to each other. I am using this code to save.

Code:
Private Sub mnuSaveAs_Click()

Dim filenum As Integer
Dim Ingredients As String
Dim lab As String
Dim recname As String
Dim proc As String
  Dim strMsg As String
  Dim W As New  _
	Word.Application
Ingredients = TxtIngredients.Text
		  lab = Label1.Caption
		  recname = LblName.Caption
		  proc = TxtProcessTest
  mnuSaveAs.Enabled = False

  If TxtProcessTest.Text = ""  _
	Then
  MsgBox "You cannot use a blank TextBox", vbCritical, _
"Entry Error"

 mnuSaveAs.Enabled = True
 Exit Sub
 Else

 strMsg = lab & vbTab & recname & vbCrLf & vbNewLine & Ingredients & vbTab &  _
	vbTab & proc
 End If

 W.Documents.Add
 W.Selection.TypeText (strMsg)
 W.ChangeFileOpenDirectory (App.Path)
 W.ActiveDocument.SaveAs Filename:=recname & ".doc", _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument, _
LockComments:=False, Password:="", _
AddToRecentFiles:=True, WritePassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
	_
SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
	_
SaveAsAOCELetter:=False

 W.ActiveDocument.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
 W.Application.Quit
 Set W = Nothing

 strMsg = "The document, " & recname & _
".doc" & vbCrLf
 strMsg = strMsg & "has be saved in the directory, " & _
App.Path & "."
 MsgBox strMsg
 mnuSaveAs.Enabled = True
		
End Sub

the lab and recname are fine. the ingredients and proc are the ones I need to align. right now it saves the ingredients fine but it saves proc right underneath the ingredients. is it possible to keep the text box size, the proc is in, the same in the .doc file. right now it is saving it as one long line. like this

ingredient 1
ingredient 2
ingredient 3
proc ----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
something like that. I want it to save it like this

ingredient 1 proc--------------------------
ingredient 2 --------------------------------
ingredient 3 ------------------------------

does that make since? also what about keeping the same font size when saving as it is on the form?
