List field line-up

[Sarah]

If the items in each line are separated by tabs, then you just need to 
set the tabStops of your field. Go to the second part of the field tab 
in the Properties palette, turn on vertical grid and then start entering 
numbers in the "Tab stop every" field. Separate tab values with commas 
and just experiment until it all works. Then you can turn off the 
vertical grid if you want, but it makes the initial setup much easier.

You might also want to set the field to "Don't wrap" so that any long 
lines don't overflow into the line below.

Cheers,
Sarah
