     Posted: 06 Nov 2009 at 7:24am

If I am using borders around a specific field, I can’t seem to indent the content in this field. I have tried in the ‘Paragraph’ tab of the Format Editor by indenting from the left (e.g. 0.3), but this hasn’t been working. Is there another way to indent the field content slightly from the borders? Thanks for the help.

Try setting the field to Can Grow along with the Left Indent.

Thanks DBlank. That worked great for certain fields. But in fields such as 'Record Number' from the Special Fields area of the Field Explorer, there isn't a 'Paragraph' tab in the Format Editor, and the 'Can Grow' box is grayed out. Is there a way to indent these numbers?

Never tried to indent numeric fields... They cannot grow as growing is more of a wrap than a width grow and usually these are aligned Right.
I guess you could convert them to text and align that if you needed to...Same process in your other posting...

This worked well when converting it to text as in the other post. Thanks for the advice.
