You cannot write to specific coordinates with Write # or Print #, but you can control Horizontal and Vertical positioning to a degree:

Open "C:\Dell\Test.txt" For Append As #1
Write #1, "Philadelphia " & "   " & "is " & Space(10) & " the city " & _
                                   Chr(9) & "of brotherly " & Chr(9) & "love." & _
                                   vbCrLf & "Not like Chicago!"
Close #1

Output:

‘Using Write #
"Philadelphia    is            the city     of brotherly     love.
Not like Chicago!"
 
 ‘Using Print #
Philadelphia    is            the city     of brotherly     love.
Not like Chicago!

You can also read line by line and when you get to the line you want you parse it then add your info and reconcatenate it.

Good point to make.

Also, there's a Tab(n) function which manages moving across the line to position n.
