February 23, 201114 yr I have a quick question regarding printing value lists. Instead of trying to explain what I am trying to do (which only confuses me and everyone else), I'm inserting a screenshot below. The image is of a hotel rooming list which is sent to the hotel when the reservations are made. Upon arrival, the hotel assigns room numbers to each guest. Using a value list I have the guest names added but I need to add a line for the hotel clerk to write the room number on. For aesthetic purposes I would like to keep all the guest names left aligned and would like to have all the lines the same length and right aligned. Is there a function (LeftWord; MiddleWord; RightWord; etc) that will accomplish this? Also, is there any way to space the names farther apart vertically and still leave the font the same size? As always, many thanks in advance.
