Default Convert Excel file to Txt file

Hi All,

I am using a script to convert an Excel sheet to a txt file and it works ok.
But some fields need to be aligned to the right in stead of default left. Can
anyone tell me how to do this? Not all values but only some of the fields in
the excel sheets

The code used:

Public Sub FixedFieldTextFile()
Const DELIMITER As String = ""
Const PAD As String = " "
Dim vFieldArray As Variant
Dim myRecord As Range
Dim nFileNum As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim sOut As String


vFieldArray = Array(4, 8, 4, 4, 15, 4, 13, 8, 8, 25, 40, 123)
nFileNum = FreeFile
Open "c:\NOB50850.txt" For Output As #nFileNum

For Each myRecord In Range("A1:A" & _
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
With myRecord
For i = 0 To UBound(vFieldArray)
sOut = sOut & DELIMITER & Left(.Offset(0, i).Text & _
String(vFieldArray(i), PAD), vFieldArray(i))

Next i
POLine = POLine + 1
Print #nFileNum, Mid(sOut, Len(DELIMITER) + 1)
sOut = Empty
End With

Next myRecord
Close #nFileNum
End Sub

The excel sheet:
Left Left Right Left
Right
5010 12345678 1 Custpart1 0 10
Left Left Left
