Can a "tab" (or functionality) be used in a text box?

I have two text boxes on a report:
Grs Sht WxL 25.00 x 26.00
Net Sht WxL 25.00 x 24.00
Ariel 8 (all report items are in Ariel).
The "problem" is that Grs and Net differ so slightly in size that the dimensions are not exactly lined up.
Is there functionality, like a tab, to replace the 3 spaces after WxL with spacing so that the dimensions line up?
 
Using simple 'right justification' won't work?

You can't use a tab but you could try either split the value into more than one text box or use a fixed space font like Courier New.
