Formatting in smartforms

Former Member — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 16:21:08 GMT

Hi,

I am working on smart form:

I have doubt regarding formatting,

Name:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ DATE:12/12/2006.

But when the name field is short the date field shifts like below.

NAME:ABCD DATE:12/12/2006.

But I want the output date field like following even when the name is short.

NAME:ABCD DATE:12/12/2006.

Please help me out..

Points will be awarded

You should set up tabs in your paragraph format. In this case you only need one.

You code your tabs with a double comma.

AA &NAME&,,&DATE&

Thats it.

Hi,

I think this will not help me out because there is a date text in between &x& and &y&.

Name Text:&x& Date Text:&y&.

So let me modify my question a bit.

What I want is Date text should come after say 10 characters of Name text not 10 characters after &x&..

I appreciate your previous prompt answer though.

Ok, that's simple. Again, back to the tabs.



AA Name: &NAME&,,Date: &DATE&



AA Name:,,&NAME&,,Date:,,&DATE&

It all depends on how many tabs you want to put in it.

Hi,

Create a template with two column and one line. Put name and value in one text at Position 1,1 and date & date in another text node at position 1,2.

Hi,

You can use table.In that you have to use linetype.Its width should match with the table width.

Example:

linetype

l1 10 cm 10 cm
