    Posted: 16 May 2014 at 3:19am
Hi All

I am trying to indent the 2nd and onwards lines of text from a formula so that the 1st line has a bullet point and the subsequent lines of text line up under the text not the bullet point.

like

* This is Text
__This is Text

What happens at the moment is

* This is Text
This is Text

Simple formula :

if {AdditionalSpecifications.Parameter} = "Frequency Parameters" then "* " + {AdditionalSpecifications.Specification}

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

you would have to parse the text as CR will not tell you when/where the text will break (which is of course dependent on font, style, size, and size of container) then you can manually insert chrw(9) (which is the tab character)
