printing the value exactly in a pertticular position

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

In smart forms how can i print the value of a field in a exact desired position in a window.

For example if a value is printing like

Sales Tax :

500.00

I want it to print like

Sales Tax : 500.00

How to maintain space between Sales Tax : and 500 and how can i print the value in a exact position.

Regards,

Farook.

Hi,

First make sure ithat ur window is big enough to print those two values on a single line.

And now u can use tabs like , Sales Tax :,,500.00 or u can use &space(n)& where n specifies the number of spaces u require between ur Sales Tax and Amount.

But it is always good to use tabs.

Hi,

In Smartstyles u can create one Paragraph formate(P1).Under "Tabs" u can define the Tab positions.

Eg:

1 1.00 CM Left-Aligned

then write

P1 Sales Tax:,,&wa_header-salestax&

Hi Farook

You can go in for a Template.

Create two cells in it...the first one for the Text 'Sales Tax'

and te second one for the value &variable&.

This is the best option as the printer settings wont affect the layout later on as well.
