Tab positioning in a word file

I am converting document that is currently being printed to be saved as a Word (.doc) file. When printing (using the printer object), much of the horizontal positioning is set using the Printer objects TAB(xx) command to move the current location to the proper position before printing. This is nice because it insures the output lines up consistently - especially with a non-fixed width font.

When creating the Word document I don't see a comparable command to the TAB(XX) command that is available with the Printer object. I can use the Space(XX) command with the Word object but I'm afraid the spacing won't come out the same as when printed.

My question is does anyone know of a way to do tab positioning when writing to a Word file? I haven't found anything at this point in my searches. Any ideas I may not have thought of?

Thanks!
