I am using Visual Basic to align the text of strings which often consist of different fonts. The first part of each string consists of numerals. The second part of the string consists of Japanese characters and the third part consists of English characters.
These changes in fonts cause vertical alignment to be difficult. I need a method to ensure proper verticle alignment of the English portion of each string. In other words, I want to change this:

I am using Visual Basic 6.5. I am trying to print the strings into a Word document.
I tried using the TextWidth() method in the Form that prints out these strings however this method is not available: I don't see it inside the list of methods of the Form's class.
I want to implement a method that will count the number of twips between each part of string before it is printed out. I could then make adjustments to the spacing between Japanese and English characters.
Is there a way to do this that does not involve the 'TextWidth' method?
Is there a declaration or code that I can add to either the Main Form or a Class Module that will allow me to use 'TextWidth' method or some other measurement function?
If there is a better way to do this besides using twips please tell me.
