text in unattached label

M

I want to put a line of numerals in an unattached label on a form -- like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
evenly spaced across the label with some space in between each numeral. How
can I insert 'fixed' spaces of some kind? Or, is there another way?

Thanks,

Meredith

Meredith,
I don't understand... you'd do it just the way you typed them in your message, with a
space (or 2 or 3) between each number until you fill the label width left to right.

Well, you can certainly set the Caption property of the label to

"1 2 3 4 5 6 7"

or

"1 2 3 4 5 6 7"

I'm not certain what you mean by "fixed" spaces! Will these numbers
vary over time? What is the purpose of this label?

The form is being displayed in an Outlook email message -- when it shows up
there, the spaces I've entered in Access are eliminated and the numerals are
all just in one string ...

Well, that certainly changes the nature of the question and the
possible solutions. Any particular reason you chose not to mention
this in your original post!?

How are you "displaying" the Form? as HTML? If so, you might try
encoding appropriate formatting HTML directly in the label caption.

Well, that's a different problem...
Tell you what you can try. Use the high ascii character Alt-160 (Arial or MSSans). In
most fonts that is a "blank" character.

Type in 1
Hold the Alt key while you type this into the num pad... 0160
Release the Alt key
This should create a what appears to be a "space" but is really a blank High Ascii
character. Access shouldn't strip it out... it doesn't recognize it as a real space.
Type in 2... and repeat the Alt-0160 process.
etc...

Can't say for sure, but I think that might do it.
