How to fix formatting difference in Wordpad and Notepad for textfiles in Java?

I am using Java to generate an file, but I can't get the formatting right when opened in different Viewers. The programs that give the different output are WordPad and NotePad.

The output of the program in the console is all well formatted. Also when I view the file in WordPad it is also well formated. But when I open the file in NotePad, it is all jumbled up.

It looks extremely bad in NotePad and I would hate for the end user to open it up in NotePad seeing a jumbled mess.

Is there a way to properly format text in Java so any text reader would render it like I intended it to be?

I am using String.format() to format my strings.

Edit: Here is some of the core code I am using to write out the information.

private void retrieveOrderInfo(ArrayList<String> order) {
    int row = orderTable.getRowCount();
    String descr[] = new String[row];
    double price[] = new double[row];
    String info;
    readOrderTable(descr, price);
    for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) {
        info = String.format(" %-45s %-20.1f ", descr[i], price[i]);
        order.add(info);
    }
}

private void writeString(String path, String info, boolean line) {
    DataRW write = new DataRW();
    write.writeFileExternal(path, info, line);
}

This is in my DataRW class.

public void writeFileExternal(String fileName, String info, boolean line) {
    BufferedWriter bwriter = null;
    try {
        FileWriter fwriter = new FileWriter(fileName, true);
        bwriter = new BufferedWriter(fwriter);
        bwriter.write(info);
        if (line) {
            bwriter.newLine();
        }
        bwriter.flush();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        //e.printStackTrace();
        //System.out.println("Could note write to " + fileName);
        errorMessageNotify("writeexternalfile", fileName);
    } finally {
        if (bwriter != null) {
            try {
                bwriter.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                //Just ignore if couldnt close
            }
        }
    }
}

So I get the information and just write it out with these method calls.

Here are the links to the images to describe what I mean. I do not have enough reputation points to posts the images directly.

I really do appreciate all the help. I been banging my head on this for a long time. I tried using \t and adjusting the formatting to get it to look right, but then it looks off in Wordpad, MS Word, and FireFox once I get it to look right under NotePad.

I am guessing that the generated code uses UNIX newlines. Wordpad breaks at UNIX linebreaks. Notepad does not.

If you want correct breaks for your OS, use System.getProperty("line.separator")

Edit: Now that we have screenshots, I can say that your problem is with notepad. Change font to a fixed-width font such as Courier, and your data will be properly aligned.
