After placing your tab delimited file in your page layout software, you can then format it in any way you wish.

However, when you have more extensive data, it makes sense to create it in a spreadsheet, database, or other application; make sure any calculations are absolutely correct; then use the tab delimited format to bring your data into the page layout software for further formatting.
