TAB CHARACTER

[Dr. Evil]

What is the symbol for a "tab"

I know the paragraph symbol is "¶"

Is there one for a "TAB"??

What I am attempting to do is create a calculation field that combines a number of other fields for a generated description.

The reason I am doing this is to save space on the print layout, sense some fields will be empty. I want to format the information so it looks kinda like this:

LABLE: Field information/description here, and so on

Field information/description here, and so on

LABEL: Field information/description here, and so on

There's no symbol. Type option-tab into a text field, select it and copy. Go into Define.. and paste it into your formula (inside quotes, of course).

You can also put it in a field for later use in other calculation.

You can also put the character "a" in a field for later use in other calculation. What's the point? It's just another character.
