Drag the resizing handle over to the second guideline so that the object
snaps to the guideline.

Steps 2 through 5.

Indenting lines

Using Crystal Reports, you can control line indentation for memo fields, string
fields, and text-based objects. For objects, you have the option of indenting
lines for a particular paragraph by positioning the cursor at the start of that
paragraph. Or, if you select an object in its entirety, you can apply the same
indenting specifications to all the paragraphs within that object.

Keep in mind that any line following a carriage return will be considered the
first line of a new paragraph.

To indent lines

1.

Right-click the field or object you want to format to bring up the shortcut
menu.

2.

On the shortcut menu, click Format text.

The Format Editor dialog box appears.

3.

Click the Paragraph tab.

4.

In the Indentations area, you can indent the first line of the paragraph;
indent every paragraph line from the left edge of the object; and indent
every paragraph line from the right edge of the object.

Note:

Only indentation values within the range of the field or object width
are accepted.
