Daniel,

Setting the ASIS style attribute may do the trick, but if you're using a proportional font, it may not give the results you expect.

A better option would be to turn protectspecialchars off and then to emit the RTF code for a tab a few millimetres in from the left margin. Something like (untested) \tx144\tab should do the trick. (\tx<n> defines the tab stop at <x> twips from the right hand margin - there are 1440 twips to the inch - and \tab emits the actual tab.

You can either add the rtf control codes to your character variable or, if you're using proc report, use the pretext style attribute to add the necessary code automatically. If you need to dynamically change the amount of indentation, you cans et the style attribue in a compute block for the variable you're printing.

HTH,
