I have some code here that I've worked on that part of a class structure. I have to print these words out to the screen in a columnar fashion, 5 to a line and left justified.
The output to the console screen looks like this:
So, what am I doing wrong?

Code:
//*****************************************************************************
// read_words(): method Reads data in the file, Lab5TextData.txt, into the

{
string temp_word;
size = 0;
count = 0;
infile >> temp_word; //read into temporary word first
while (!infile.eof() && count < 500) //read no more than 500 words
{
size = temp_word.length(); //how many characters in temp_word
//if last char is punctuation; one_word’s array index is 0 through
//size-1 etc.)
if (temp_word[size-1] == '!' || temp_word[size-1] == ';' ||

Original List of Words in Text File

The steps required in problem
solving are an indication that
computer science involves more than
simply programming Computer science is
a mathematical scientific and engineering
discipline with three major working
methodologies theory abstraction and design
This text begins your exploration
of this rich discipline with
a discussion of practical tools
computers and software Although you
will spend much time working
with these tools their mastery
is merely a means to
an end not the ultimate
objective of this text This
chapter begins with a discussion
that will continue throughtout the
text How can we effectively
solve problems using the computers
as a tool Problem solving
involves careful analysis to discover
the nature of the problem
Problem solving also includes the
development of a logical process
or design of a solution
before the computer is approached
Once a solution is implemented
on a computer good problem
solving requires that we fully
test our work To gain
an appreciation of the computing
environment this chapter examines a
model of a computer system
and the steps required for
execution software on that computer
Several simple programs illustrate the
implementation of a problem solution
design in the computer language
C++ The top-down design method
of problem solving and computer
program writing is tied to
a feature of many programming
languages the function
