Merge fields inherit tab & paragraph settings?

Merge fields inherit font formats. Can they inherit changes in the paragraph formats, specifically tab settings?

Our intention is to print complex (and changing) text-intensive layouts by concatenating a record's text fields into a single merge field. But we can't do this if tab settings specific to that record won't transfer.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Character and paragraph formatting are not "carried through" calculations in FMP 6 and earlier. All formatting is lost.

Character formatting is supported in FMP 7. If you are doing anything text intensive as you suggest, do it in FMP 7.
