Looking at your sample data it would be a matter of seconds[1] to import 
that file into excel[2], then use "DATA > Text to Column > Fixed Width
and follow the wizard as needed.
Format and make it as pretty as you need to export into your newsletter.

Use the right tool.

It took me longer to write this email than it should take to do what you 
want to do.

The other tool you may want to look into is the HTML commands in 
filePro. Useful if you want to make a formatted table output for the web 
without having to deal additional cruft.

[1] since you mentioned MSPublisher I assume you are doing this on a 
Windows box.
[2] or openoffice http://www.openoffice.org which does run on various OS's.
