Default Creating a PRN file from Excel

Hi

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I'm working on a project right now that involves having a user enter
in a Journal Entry into an Excel spreadsheet, and then having the
spreadsheet process it and output a prn file. The prn file will then
be imported into SCT Banner. This is especially useful for large
Journal Entries, as it significantly cuts down on keying and the
associated time lost and errors created.

SCT Banner expects to get a file wherein each 'column' of data is left
aligned and comes with trailing spaces to fill up the column. My
problem is that Excel chops off all trailing spaces, without regard
for whether it is part of a column that has data or is a blank column
altogether. Does anyone know how to create a prn (because SCT Banner
does not seem to want to take anything except prn's) that doesn't chop
the extra spaces?

I have tried throwing in a character after the specified max range
(148), but that seems to throw Banner off as well.

Thanks,

Dave
