Formatting a Line

[Peter Newman]

Im creating a word doc on the fly from a VB6 application.

Ive managed to create a blank word Doc and insert a Header and footer without a problem. Ive also managed to insert a lines of text. The problem is that a single line has two aprts to it, a Discripter ( on ht eleft) and a monetry value to appear on the right of the page. How can i do this and right align the Monarty value

the code im using is

Dim oWord as Word Applicatio
Dim oDoc as word.Documen
Dim oparagraph as word.paragrap
Dim oRng as Word.Rang
Set oWord = CreateObject("word.Application"
Set oDoc = oWord.Document.Ad

With oDo
Set oParagraph = oDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Ad
Set oRng = Odoc.Bookmarks("\EndOfDoc").Rang
oRng.insertAfter "Line 1" & vbtab & "10.00" & vbcrl
oRng.insertAfter "Line 2" & vbtab & "1.00

orng.Collapse wdCollapseEn
End Wit
Set oDoc = Nothin
oword.Qui

I end up with the followin

Line 1 10.0
Line 2 1.0

But wan

Line 1 10.0
Line 2 1.0

Any suggestions

The problem is that a single line has two aprts to it, a Discripter ( on ht eleft) and

a monetry value to appear on the right of the page. How can i do this and right align
the Monarty valuesWell, the "easiest" would be to use a two-column table, with the second column formatted
right-aligned. If there are going to be a lot of entries, then concatenate them into a
delimited string, drop that into the range, then use ConvertToTable on the range.

The other possibility would be to set a right-aligned tab stop and put a TAB character
between the two parts.
