Indenting lines

Using Seagate Crystal Reports, you can control line indentation for memo fields, string fields, and text-based objects. For objects, you have the option of indenting lines for a particular paragraph by positioning the cursor at the start of that paragraph. Or, if you select an object in its entirety, you can apply the same indenting specifications to all the paragraphs within that object.

Keep in mind that any line following a carriage return will be considered the first line of a new paragraph.

To indent lines

1. Right-click the field or object you want to format to bring up the shortcut menu.
2. On the shortcut menu, click Paragraph Formatting.

   The Format Editor dialog box appears with the Paragraph Formatting
   tab open.

   

3. In the Indentations area, you can indent the first line of the paragraph; indent every paragraph line from the left margin; and indent every paragraph line from the right margin.

   Note:    Only indentation values within the range of the field or object width are accepted.

4. Click OK to save your changes.
