I want to indent all of the lines in a paragraph besides the first. How can I do this?

My paragraph would look like this:


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks

Carl
 
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))

Another way is to right-click on the field and choose Format Field. The paragraph tab has a place to set indentations. You can set the first line to -.5 and left to .5 and it will create a hanging indent.
