You output what outputFile returns. This line should be

outputFile<<"Name: "<<Pname<<"		"<<"Date:"<<TDate<<endl;

Actually this:

outputFile<<"Name: "<<Pname<<"		"<<"Date:"<<TDate<<endl;

is the same as this:

outputFile<<"Name: "<<Pname<<"\t\t"<<"Date:"<<TDate<<endl;

ah thats true because the \t is a "tab" right

Hello..:p..Thats rite..

can you modify the font coming out to the word document throught the program?
