Indentation to a certain Place of the Page

Post by diskhub »

How can i have indentation to a certain pt of the page?
For example, i have the following:
adrian: 123
john: 234
christopher: 4445
michael goodman: 2344

how can i have the behaviour of the indention after the ':' such that all the values are alighted properly...

Either use a tabular or a tabbing environment.
