Preserve tabs when pasting text into a text field?

[George P]

Can one preserve tabs when pasting text into a text field in Filemaker? It doesn't work in FMP12 for Mac (at least to my limited knowledge), but I'd upgrade to FMP13 if this worked. Thank you very much!

I believe that it does work - so the question is how did you determine that it doesn't?

I wonder if you mean, how can you preserve tab-stops? for example the HT character uses preset tab stops (default) in FileMaker, but you can specify the location of those stops. You must show the ruler to see and set and move them.

Let us know if you have something else in mind.
