All the suggestions regarding non-proportional fonts are fine, but what if you
want to
use a proportional font in MSWord?  The idea here is to focus on what is
separating the
columns in your table.  If you use tabs, you can easily convert the imported
text into a
MSWord table. Once you have this, it is easy to "beautify" the table to your
hearts
content.
 
An easy way to do this is with a data step, as follows:
 
filename out 'c:\output.txt';
data _null_;
   data source;
   file out;
   put name '09'x id '09'x height;
run;
 
The '09'x is the hex code for tabs in ASCII.
