Tabs in merge field

Hi

At the moment we are using the Microsoft office objects to merge Word documents, but want to migrate to Aspose words.

At the moment we create a table on the template document with the columns headers and one empty row. We then add a merge field into this empty row. We use HTML formated text to populate the merge field using “” to insert tabs. Then if there are 4 columns we add the text for each column seperated by the tab HTML. The row text then alligns with the headers.

After testing I see that the “” HTML is not recognised by Aspose words and ControlChar.Tab only adds a single space. Do you have a solution for this issue? We have hundreds of templates and would like to implement Aspose without any changes to these documents.

Thanks
Izak
