Workaround

Two possible work arounds:1. Use word spacing. This works pretty well, but the user doesn’t have complete control over the exact number of spaces. Works well if the label fields have only one word.2. Use text formatting tags to make "place holder" characters the same color as the background. For example:[L_T_ADD] & "<CLR red='255' green='255' blue='255'>" & "............." & "</CLR>" & [Name] & "<CLR red='255' green='255' blue='255'>" & ".............." & "</CLR>" & [R_T_ADD]This works well if the spaces don’t cross over other features.
