Tool for Creating a report from a text file

Is there any tool I can use to create a report from a pipe-delimited file? This report will need to have multiple fonts on the same line and be "programmable". I need to be able to loop through a section to output detail data to the report, keeping track of how many records are output.

I wound up using bookmarks on a Word Document. Not "pretty", but once I figured out what I had to do to make things line up, it looks pretty good now!

Would Microsoft Word work?

Well, I don't know. Can I "place", programmatically, the data on a line in Word? I need to be able to use different fonts on the same line, which I can do with a mouse/keyboard when typing in Word, but not sure how that works if I'm programming in Word. I think I'm going to look at VBA in Word and see what that will do for me. But in the meantime, if you can possibly find out anything else I could possibly use, that would be marvelous!

Thanks, Deborah!
