Inserting a space between Merge fields

Hi, when I try to insert a space between two merge fields a get a tab instead of a blank space.
But if I insert any other character it works fine. The problem is very simple I must insert a space
between NAME and SURNAME. Thank you, my best regards.

See the code below.

builder.MoveToDocumentEnd()
builder.Document.DefaultTabStop = 144
builder.Writeln(Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "Company " & ControlChar.Tab & ControlChar.Tab & "CUSTOMER")
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD ENPLOYEE \* MERGEFORMAT", "")
builder.Write(ControlChar.Tab & ControlChar.Tab)
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD NAME \* MERGEFORMAT", "")
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD SURNAME \b "" "" \* MERGEFORMAT", "")

The result is the following:
NAME SURNAME
Instead of:
NAME SURNAME

Hi
Thanks for your request. I think that you can try using the following code.

Dim doc As Document = New Document()
Dim builder As DocumentBuilder = New DocumentBuilder(doc)
builder.MoveToDocumentEnd()
builder.Document.DefaultTabStop = 144
builder.Writeln(Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "Company " & ControlChar.Tab & ControlChar.Tab & "CUSTOMER")
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD ENPLOYEE \* MERGEFORMAT", "«ENPLOYEE»")
builder.Write(ControlChar.Tab & ControlChar.Tab)
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD NAME \* MERGEFORMAT", "«NAME»")
builder.Write(" ") 'insert a blank space 
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD SURNAME \* MERGEFORMAT", "«SURNAME»")
doc.Save("out.doc")

Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Hi, I have already tried this, but nothing changed. The weird thing is that: if afterwards I open the resulting doc by WORD and I will insert a space between NAME and SURNAME it gets it as if it was a tab. Thank you again for helping me. Regards

Hi, when I was getting ready, by WORD, the sample for you, I pushed a carriage return after the last field (SURNAME) and I saw that the field was shifted to the left in its correct position. So I changed the code in the way that you can see below and it works fine. In any case, if you want deeply investigate about this problem, you have the document attached.

Thank you regards.

Dim builder As DocumentBuilder = New DocumentBuilder(dstDoc)
builder.MoveToDocumentEnd()
builder.Document.DefaultTabStop = 144
builder.Writeln(Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "Per Confesercenti " & ControlChar.Tab & ControlChar.Tab & "l'Utente")
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD FUNZIONARIO \* MERGEFORMAT", "<>")
builder.Write(ControlChar.Tab & ControlChar.Tab)
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD COGNOME \* MERGEFORMAT", "<>")
builder.Write(" ")
builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD NOME \* MERGEFORMAT", "<NOME>>")
builder.Write(Chr(10) & Chr(13))

Hi
Thanks for additional information. I figured out the problem. This occurs because thre is section break directly after merge field. You just should do the following.

builder.InsertField("MERGEFIELD NOME \* MERGEFORMAT", "<NOME>>")
builder.Writeln()

Best regards
