K kentco Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 28, 2014 #1 Hi All I have a label and i am adding text to it. The text is words all with the same number of characters but depending on the characters in the word the length can be different. I thought of adding a tab (same as pressing tab key on the keyboard) so the text would always start vertically aligned I have tried CHR(9) but this does not work. Are tab supported in labels if so how do you add them? Or is there a better way to align the text? for example RUNNING RUNNER ABDOMEN RUNNER RUNNING (TAB) RUNNER ABDOMEN (TAB)RUNNER Thanks Colin Last edited: Jan 28, 2014
