The basic problem you encountered is caused by two things. 1. The font being used cannot print the character representing the numeric code for it., and 2. The database report writer (used to create the report) does not permit certain characters such as tabs to function. At this time, and for a long time in the past, a fix for this problem has been on the Wish List. Many users want to add columnized data to their notes. The only way presently is to use spaces, but that only works for one specific font and font size. Any changes to the font and the columns are out of synch.
