printf("first>\tthis is a sentence...\nsecond>\tthis is another sentence...")

first>  this is a sentence...
second> this is another sentence...

1. if you like it, you can replace the TABs expanding them to a fixed number of spaces (supposed that you have a CString named str, you have only to call str.Replace(_T("\t"), _T(" ")); on it); be aware that usually this is not the behaviour of TAB that the rest of the world is expecting.
2. absolutely it make no sense to replace the \n characters in a string with newline because in strings \n has the meaning of newline!

To make sure if the controls are aligned correctly, you can take a snapshot, paste in MS Paint, draw a line, zoom and check the pixels.
