Formatted name and address

On our client surveys that print out automatically (they are word documents not open office) the first line of the merged client details sits where I want it to, but 2nd and 3rd line print to the left.

I want the 2nd and 3rd line to print in line with the first as then it fit's nicely into a windowface envelope. I have attached a screenshot of the original document with the merge fields and the merged document.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to prevent lines 2 & 3 from moving to the left?

Re: Formatted name and address

Hi Sandra... :)  The easiest way to do this is to insert a table with two columns and move the divider between the columns to where you want your Name / Address to start. Put your name / address merge field in the second column and set the table borders so they will not print... :) This will ensure that your Name / Address is nicely aligned....  You can actually use this method for lots of different document formating - charts, question lists with tick boxes etc... :) You basically use the table to control the layout - but have the borders set so they are not seen on the printed document... :)  Hope this helps... !
