The problem is that your tab is not set at a position far enough to the right. You need to change the tab for the follow field after the description to a high number, shifting the column to the right.

If I understood correctly, you need the material description be aligned correctly. It is done thought the Tab you set for the paragraph you use for the line item.

In your case you, for example if your are using the paragraph as <b>P1</b> for these line items, you need to adjust the <b>tab</b> of this paragraph in Paragraph page. For the date you are using the <b>4th</b> Tab. Increase the size of of that.

In fact, I could see you also using a character format <s>, for the line items. Since this character properties you are going to use it for all the line item details, just try to avoids its use and add those character properties to the paragraph properties of the line items.

For example <s> you may be using it for bolding the items. That you could do by setting the <P1> properties as bold.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Fractal,

Create paragraph format for displayng the description.Use tab position in the paragraph format.And in the text editor use ,, for putting one tab.It will be aligned properly.If any problem reply this thread.Put the tab position in the way that it is a bit more than the length of the description.

Example if your field length is 40 then take the tab position a bit more than 40 for safer side.
