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.

You could display the same value list field, but make the text white and display the text baseline in the field to draw the lines.

Brilliant! Now I know why you guys make the big bucks. A million thanks.

Or, as we say in Georgia... Thanky, thanky, thanky!
