Begin indent halfway through a line?

[Danny Joe]

I'm trying to indent the second half of a line without also indenting the first, so that the end result - doesn't (can't do it here either) ---- look like:

Category: datadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadata

datadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadata

datadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadatadata

So I'd like all the data evenly indented to the right, leaving space below "category."

The problem is, every time I indent part of a line (data) the whole line (including the category) is indented. Any ideas?

How does this question differ from the one we answered yesterday?

[Danny Joe]

A: it doesn't regard calculations.

B: It offers me new hope of being properly answered

[Lee Smith]

Did you check the formating available for text (Paragraphs)?

[Danny Joe]

yes, that also gives me the problem of having the entire line indented, not just the second part.

[Lee Smith]

You are not listing, or I'm not saying it so you can understand.

Check out the attached simple file. I did the formatting in the Browse Mode bacause. it is easier to "Apply" and see the results without leaving the Text >> Paragraph editor.

Once you get the indents the way you want them, you can transfer the information to the Field in layout mode, and make it default for the field.

oops . neither myself nor my Mac seems to know what to do with a .php file, and filemaker turns it into a funny looking table, certainly not what you intended..

should I have done something other than click on Attachment?

[Lee Smith]

You accessed it properly,

It's a file format used by this and other sites. Your Browser should have automatically opened it using Stuffit Expander. Stuffit Expander is available in several places such as www.download.com and Aladdin Systems Inc.

If it becomes a problem, I can send it to you back channel if you want. Just let me know what email address.
