Hi all, again :) i have another problem with my program. I need to print a textbox that contain some data (of course). The textbox is formatted like this:

HEADER
Data1 Data2 Data3
Data4 Data5 Data6
Etc...
FOOTER

I managed to print the file using the DocumentPrint object. But there's a problem :) i need this data to be printed in a tabular form (just like an excel sheet). Because the lenght of Data1, Data2, etc.. strings is different i can't just use space characters to divide "columns". I have no idea where to start...

That could be an idea but there's a problem: i need to print also a header and a footer. So, for example, this could be my document:

Document title and date

[Data1][Data2][Data3]
[Data4][Data5][Data6]
[Data7][Data8][Data9]

Footer

I have no idea how to print mixed text and tables. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
