Take the 2-minute tour ×  Possible Duplicate: How can I force a
\hspace at the beginning of a line?  I am trying to put a postal
address in the footer. I want the first line to be "Address:
Address line1", then the next line should start with an
indentation or horizontal space so that "Address line2" is
aligned just under "Address line1", and so on. I tried:
\lfoot{\scriptsize{\textsf{Address:Address
line1\newline\hspace{1in}{Address line2}}}}  But the hspace{}
command is not working. What am I doing wrong?  share|improve

\lfoot{\scriptsize{\textsf{Address: Address
line1\newline\phantom{Address: }{Address line2}}}}
\phantom{<stuff>} leaves the space required for <stuff> without
actually typesetting it. That way you're assured things will
line up properly.  share|improve this answer Perfect! Thanks,
