Hi Nick,

That is indeed what I needed !

Here is what I've come up with:

(format "%-12s %-12s %-8s" (or (org-entry-get (point) "Case" t) "--") 
(or (org-entry-get (point) "CaseNum" t) "--") (or (org-entry-get (point) 
"FiscalYear" t) "--"))

It does exactly what I wanted, so thanks for the pointer!

Laurent
