Is there a way to create or assign "fixed length" fields?
I am looking into creating a generic header that looks something like this:

******************************************************
Operator..
Customer.. |Part No...
Program... |Prog Rev..
Op. No....110 |Job No....
Date......25 Apr 2006 |Time......14:19:33
Trace to:
******************************************************

To keep everything in place in a generic header would require a fixed field in between the customer and part no and so on.
