Aligning and indenting text
 
Report Writer offers several methods for indenting and aligning text. Toolbuttons for many of them are on the Paragraph toolbar.
 
Alignment and justification
Click the Left, Right, Justify or Center toolbuttons (or press their corresponding shortcut keys) for text aligned with the left or right margins, both margins or center of the report.
 
Tab key and Auto Indent
Press the Tab key one or more times to indent the text an appropriate distance from the left margin. This is best used for short single lines, since tabbing and auto-indenting only affect the first line of a paragraph.
 
Bulleted and numbered paragraphs
Text which is bulleted and numbered is automatically indented. Round bullet symbols, numbers and letters are available. Toolbuttons for this are on the Paragraph toolbar.
 
Enclosing text in table cells
Just as in HTML pages, you can compartmentalize text in individual cells of tables for greater control when combining text and images. These advanced methods are discussed in Tables.
