Merge fields not aligining properly

[Suzette Baty]

I am trying to create a document using a data source from
MS Excel. In my word doc I have several lines with
multiple merge fields on each line and a header line above
and when I merge, the data does not line up where I
inserted the merge field. Any suggestions? I have used a
combo of tabs and just the space bar, I don't know if that
has anything to do with ot or not.

Undoubtedly your combination of tabs and spaces is the problem. A table
might be a better plan.
