// turn of alignment
#pragma pack(push, 1) // store old alignment and set new alignment of 1 byte
// your struct here
#pragma pack(pop) // restore aligmnent.


// A far better solution is to have an array of 2 byte sized values:
struct DataHolder
{
WORD filler1 [42] ;
WORD filler2 [192] ;
unsigned __int16 filler3 [192] ; // same as a WORD
unsigned short filler4 [384] ; // same as a WORD
