Tabs in text altering text alignment of other objects.

Featured Replies

I have two lines of text on a layout, both containing merge fields. When I add a tab stop to the text, it affects the text alignment of other objects on the layout. Has anyone else heard of this problem?

I've tried creating a new layout, with same result.

Also tried doing a recover.

Using 8.0v3 Advanced on two different computers.

Hi

I think that it'll better if you'll post an example file.

I didn't see how to attach a .zip or .fp7 file, so you can download the fp7 file here.

The linked file is a brand new file I created, with just the basic data to replicate the problem. I'm assuming this is a bug within Filemaker.

Thanks again.

That link can't be reached...

BTW it is simple to add a file .zip; while in Reply, look at the section: manage files.

sorry, didn't see the .zip extension in the "valid file types" list (i was looking alphabetically).

file is attached.

test.zip

You can have tab stop for every line of the merge field...

while in layout mode select the merge field ( with the Text tool ) and menu: View --> Text Ruler
