Need help in constructing a format!

[Don J]

I want to construct a list of telephone numbers. The list should be
three columns wide with names left justified down the left side of the
column and telephone numbers right justified down the rignt side. Since
many people have mutiple numbers (home, work, cellphone etc.) it is
necessary that multiple lines be available for each person. I would like to
organize the list into paragraphs consisting of all the lines for each
individual separated by blank lines. The top line contaning the name of the
individual for which the telephone numbers are associated, should be
outdented a few spaces form the lines (containing words such as work,
callphone, summer cottage) below it. The name of an individual may contain
one or more spaces. If the telephone number has an associated extention it
also contains a space. It follows that a simple justification across the
line won't do it.

I've tried to generate the format but the best I could generate was a
format that was unpredictable. I am using Office XP. The documentation
seems to confuse it with office 2002 or 2003.

Hi, Don,

I would set this up in a table (with or without printable borders,
your choice), one row per phone number. The first column -- for the
names and locations -- will be left-justified. The second column, for
the phone numbers, will be right-justified, with a tab stop for
indenting the locations. (In a table, you press Ctrl+Tab to insert a
tab character, because just Tab takes you to the next cell.) The third
column can contain extensions where they're needed.
