I have a memo field inserted into Crystal with html formatted text turned on under Crystal. This memo field contains a paragraph where i need to indent the first line.

I first thought i could indent this by telling Crystal to indent the first line by 0.5 inches, but since HTML is turned on, it ignores any formatting thats not HTML.

I need to use HTML to include color and text formatting tags in the memo fields.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephen
 
Kindred,

I'm afraid Crystal cannot help you. If you are importing a text file, html, or RTF - Crystal keeps the formatting - therefore, if you want the line indented - you need to accomplish this in the HTML file before it goes on the report - not after.

Cheers,

Thanks for the advice, while trying to figure out an answer to this I've decided to let the user make their changes in an .rtf document and i'll dump that into a memo field and mark the field as RTF formatting, this seems to work fairly well.
