Re: Leading whitespace in data being stripped out

OK my bad. Sometimes ther is data infront of the tab. So placing the tab in
the document will not work.


The places this happens we are prefomatting multi-line data so it will wrap
properly on the page.

Any other suggestions?

I would suggest that you put the tab in the appropriate place in the mail
merge main document.

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?
