Creating a bulleted list

[AlgernonFish]

It's the (seemingly) simple things that can drive you nuts...

I want to create a simple bulleted or numbered list in a Crystal Report document. The document is a form letter, and within the bulleted list, I need to put a database field.

I have tried doing this simply by creating a hanging indent using tabs, but when the data is displayed in the database field, it expands and contracts and often forces a word onto the next line, so I end up with something that looks like this:
(a) The quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog.

There seems to be no simple command to create an indent, and I can't find any help in the help files. I am using version 7.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do not know yuor solution, but I wuld use the Chr() function.

For example, Chr(13) returns a line break. There is most probably a value that returns a bullet, but I do not know what it is. I wul dlove to see al ist of what is returned for every value of chr() but I have not found one. Software Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine

Thanks dgillz. I found an address that lists the ascii characters used in the chr() function. Some of them (including, ironically enough, the bullet character) don't seem to work in Crystal Reports, but I'll keep experimenting. The list is at:
