Your Word document uses proportional fonts and the filePro output uses
fixed fonts. In a fixed font an "i" character takes up as much horizontal 
space as a "w" character.  

Pasting your filePro data into Word with proportial fonts set isn't going to
work unless you first specify a change in font to a fixed font (fixed or Courier).

On Windows, there is a technique for generating filePro output in RTF format
which also may help ... haven't done it myself. You might also paste the data 
into tables.
