Copy content from Form to a word document

We have a security issue and we are not allowed to generate document in Appian. We have a requirement to generate acknowledgement letter, since we cannot generate the document and provide a link in Appian,  users have requested to display the content in an Appian form and they would copy paste the content manually to a word document.

We have tried richTextFiled, paragraphField and even multiple text fields to display the content on the form the content looks perfectly formatted with correct spacing, but on copying the contents to a word document the format is not retained any ideas on how to solve this issue

    Hi sravan,

    Yes I have tried it still facing the same issue.
    Below is the example

    Test     XXXX

             XXXX

    There is 5 spaces between the two words in the first line, since there are 4 alphabets in the first line I have added 4 spaces in the next line total 9 spaces but the words XXXX do not align in the vertical line.
    Pasting the above content to notepad aligns them perfectly but on pasting it to word results in alignment issue.
    I have noticed that giving 2 spaces for every alphabet gives kind of good alignment in word but if there is an upper case alphabet again it creates an issue.
