I created a form in a previous version of Word. The form is used for
creating print and screen layouts for RPG programming. The font I am using
is Courier New. Each line has a field with a specific number of characters
allowed (80, 132, or 198). I have lines of numbers across the top of the
document, so that I can determine the exact position of each character in the
field.
When I open the document in Word 2007, the spaces between the characters no
longer use the same amount of space as the characters do, so the text in the
field is no longer in alignment with the numbers.
The lines of numbers also do not line up with each other. The first line
has nine spaces and a 1, another nine spaces and a 2, etc. The second line
has 12345678901234567890, etc. (see example below) with the intention of the
1 from the first line to be directly above the first 0 in the second line,
the 2 above the second 0, etc. across the form. In Word 2007, the number
lines with spaces do not line up with the number lines that do not have
spaces.
Line 1 1 2 3 4
Line 2 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
I also have a series of vertical lines that are grouped together on the form
to mark every 10 spaces. These lines print in a different position than is
shown in the form.
How do I get everything in alignment in the form and when it is printed?
