Puting text in columns in a field

Hi all,
sorry if this is an ignorant question but here goes. I need to put numbers into a field in the form of columns. For instance I need them to line up vertically and separated by spaces such as in a financial report or something similiar. Then I want to print the contents of the field as a report. Is there a script or function that can perform this without having to purchase an outside add on? I have RR 3.0
Thanks for any help.

Hi Ron,

As a start, make a return and tab delimited list and put the list into a field. Set the tabstops of the field to a comma delimited list of integers, e.g. 150,300,450,600 for a list with 5 columns.

Best,

Mark
