Can I format for a hanging indent? 1

[adoctor]

Hello-

Do any of you know if it's possible to format a detail section to show a hanging indent? I want the firstline to be flush left and the subsequent wrapped lines to indent. I use CR11.

Thanks for your help.

Go to format field->paragraph->first line: -.5 -> left: .5

-LB

Hmmm. It didn't change anything. Any idea why? Is there any other way to do this hanging indent? Thanks for your input, lbass!

Hey there-

I just found this post from last May asking the same thing: thread149-1369151. Synapsevampire has and alternate solution but I am unsure how to add it to my formula. Here's what he wrote:

"Does it already have page breaks in the field?

If not, then it will be a trickier, if so, try:

replace({table.field},chr(13),chr(13) & chr(9))"

I don't have any page breaks, but here is my formula for reference. I'm wondering if it's even possible the way I have this written:

if {Exhibitions.EntranceFee}=1 then
(if {Exhibitions.PublicInfo}=true and {ExhConXrefs.Prefix}="produced by" 
then "*"+"<b>"&{Exhibitions.ExhMnemonic}&"</b>"+', '+{@producer}+{@exh title}+{@citation date} else
if {Exhibitions.PublicInfo}=false and {ExhConXrefs.Prefix}="produced by" 
then {@producer}+{@exh title}+{@citation date})

Thanks for your help!

You left out that you were using HTML text interpretation! Place your formula in a text box, and then double click to select the formula only within the text box->right click->text formatting->text interpretation: HTML text, and also set the indents as noted in my first post. Tested this and it works.

-LB

Sorry 'bout that HTML thing! Thanks for this. Works like a dream.

Thank you, lbass!
